Naegi scolds Kyousuke and Aoi for being late. "You should still be responsible in your job." Both of them apologize to Naegi but Naegi wants them to explain why they got so late.
[Kyousuke]: We just got carried away playing.
[Aoi]: Yes, I'm sorry.
Naegi sighs. Misato abruptly speaks. "Why not let them be Naegi? It's not like they ran away right?" Naegi forgives them and give them the papers.

Kyousuke wonder why they want to talk about it so early. Naegi ask's them to get there right away. Misato also noted, "The one you'll be retrieving is the wife of our client. So be careful." Kyousuke and Aoi is surprised.
Meanwhile, Kazumi and Yuuki has no pending job. As they don't have anything to do, Yuuki went to their room and Kazumi is strolling around.
Kyousuke and Aoi went to the house of Hanagi family. When they got there, what they saw is just a normal house and Rina and his husband hanging outside of their house. Yuuma took notice. He immediately opens the gate for them.
[Kyousuke]: Goodmorning Sir.
[Aoi]: We are the new retriever.
[Yuuma]: Ahh, yeah we are informed by that. Come in.
Yuuma invited them to come in. "Rina, Prepare some beverages for our guests." Yuuma talks to them casually. Kyousuke ask's Yuuma why they called them early on. Yuuma just smiles at them. "I know that i will lose all of my composure when it gets close. I might even run away with her. So, before it came like that, I want to sign it now." Kyosuke and Aoi was surprised and even felt proud. "Sir Yuuma. You are a brave person."
Rina brings out their softdrinks and a box of biscuit and cookies. Yuuma offers them. "Here, just get what i want." Kyousuke and Aoi grabs one bottle of softdrinks and cookies.
[Aoi]: It's good.
[Yuuma]: Right? We get it while we are on conference on another country.
[Kyousuke]: What country did you buy these from? It's delicious.
[Yuuma]: Ha-ha. We get it i think... In Kyoto, Japan.
[Kyousuke]: I felt like i'm eating your treasures.
Yuuma laughs.
[Yuuma]: Ha-ha not at all. In fact, I can even gave you another box.
[Aoi]: Ah no, This is enough for us.
[Yuuma]: I see.
After they finished talking to each other, Kyousuke then gives the paper on Yuuma. Yuuma's mood suddenly changes. "You can take many times, we are not rushing."
[Yuuma]: No, I will just need to sign this right?
[Kyousuke]: Yeah.
[Yuuma]: Then...
Yuuma then picks up the pen on his sleeves and sign it. After signing it, Aoi give notice to them that they will come back in two weeks and on that day. Yuuma agrees.
After Yuuma signs it, They left. While driving, Kyosuke and Aoi talks about them.
[Aoi]: He is really brave...
[Kyousuke]: Yeah. But i bet it's painful right? The concept of having someone dear to you determined her remaining life.
[Aoi]: That's true... Anyway, Can we stop to buy groceries?
Aoi got out of the car to buy groceries. Kyousuke stays in the car. While Aoi is out shopping, Kyousuke started to think. "One day, We will be like that." He is getting lost in his mind and getting emotional. Aoi heard his thoughts. She opened the door and pulled Kyousuke out of the car. "Come with me. You will carry my baggage while buying."
There are many varieties of ingredients on the market. Aoi get a hard time thinking what to buy for dinner. He just asked Kyousuke.
[Aoi]: Hey, What do you want?
[Kyousuke]: Me?
[Aoi]: Who do you think am i talking to?
[Kyousuke]: Right. Maybe i just want to...
Kyousuke also can't think what he wants and then, they hit a crisis where they are stuck buying. In the end, they end up buying instant meals. When they got home, Kyousuke immediately sits on the couch while Aoi put the instant meal in microwave. Aoi ask's for Kyousuke's help to arrange the table. While they are doing their things, they had a casual talk.
[Kyousuke]: How come you didn't know what to buy?
[Aoi]: It just slipped in my mind.
[Kyousuke]: You don't know what to buy, or you don't know how to cook?
[Aoi]: How imprudent for you to say. Just so you know i am good at cooking.
[Kyousuke]: Why don't you try tomorrow?
[Aoi]: Heh, Fine by me.
The food Aoi cooked is slightly burnt. Kyousuke chuckles. "Hmmmm. A good cook. I see." Kyousuke was still laughing at her embarrasement. Aoi slaps Kyousuke with the food. "It's hot! owwww!" Aoi's sinister smile and her glaring eyes makes Kyousuke afraid of her. After he calmed Aoi down, Kyousuke become talkative. "So, Did you enjoy? This day." Aoi pouts and look sideward. Kyousuke sighs and brought out the extra shortcake he bought for himself. Aoi was still pouting but takes the shortcake. "You really have a sweet tooth Aoi." Aoi looks at him looking slightly pissed. Aoi speaks with a weak, cute voice. "I did enjoy it." Kyousuke didn't hear it. After that, Aoi yawns and get sleepy.
[Kyousuke]: Sleepy now?
[Aoi]: Yes, Goodnight
[Kyousuke]: Ah, Goodnight
Aoi and Kyousuke went and sleep the night.

Kyousuke got his spirits down.
[Kyousuke]: HUH!? Are you sure you didn't count it wrong?
[Naegi]: Yes
[Kyousuke]: But...
Before Kyousuke finished his sentence, Aoi smacks him in the head. "It hurts Aoi." Meanwhile, Kazumi and Yuuki was happy about it and they started discussing what to do there. Naegi also announced that the work today is half day. Everyone rejoices and starts to work. As usual, Kazumi and Yuuki is working diligently, Shiina and Shin arguing, and Mizuki and Kentaro, Who is the most levelheaded persons in the branch.
*12:00am*
After Aoi and Kyousuke leaves together again, gossips about them are starting to spread. Shiina went to Kazumi and Yuuki to tell the gossips.
[Shiina]: Hey you two. Do you know the relationship of those two?
[Yuuki]: If i have to say hmmm... Both of them started spending time together frequently.
[Kazumi]: I'm with Yuuki there.
[Shiina]: Do you think they have romantic relationship now? Hehehe(grins)
Shiina grins, and Shin intervenes with them.
[Shin]: Do you really love to spread gossips Shiina?
[Shiina]: Shin, You bastard.
Shiina chase Shin. "You bastard, come here." Kazumi and Yuuki laughs.
*6:00pm*
While Kazumi and Yuuki is having dinner, Kazumi had a conversation with Yuuki about Kyousuke and Aoi.
[Kazumi]: Hey Yuuki.
Yuuki looks at him and tilts her head.
[Yuuki]: Hmmm?
[Kazumi]: What do you think of their relationship? Aoi and Kyousuke.
[Yuuki]: I don't know.
[Kazumi]: I think that one day, they will be together. Imagine them being together even with their opposite personality. It's hilarious.
[Yuuki]: Yeah. But, Aoi's life was not that long anymore.
Kazumi gets sad, for Kyousuke and Aoi. Yuuki ask's him something afterwards. "Hey Kazumi, What will you do if you are on Kyousuke's shoes?" Kazumi was surprised she asked something like that to him.
[Kazumi]: Right. I think i will admit that...
[Yuuki]: That?
[Kazumi]: You know, my feelings like that.
[Yuuki]: Then, it will cause you pain afterwards.
[Kazumi]: What about you? What will you do if you are on Aoi's shoes?
[Yuuki]: Hmmm, Maybe i want everything to be just normal.
[Kazumi]: That's all?
[Yuuki]: Yeah.
[Kazumi]: Nothing else?
[Yuuki]: I don't want... To leave painful memories on someone. I'm afraid to hurt someone afterall.
Kazumi felt sad. Realizing what their employers really felt when they saw someone they love losing their life away to nothing. He was scared that he doesn't want that time to happen... To Kyousuke and also, to himself. He looks down and think "If this was really what Yuuki want then... What now?
