Morning at the traditional Japanese cafe Nagakura. Noriko (Iijima Naoko) begins by saying to Chiaki and the others, "Last night, I was staring blankly out the window, thinking, 'Life is so boring.'"
"I just felt like, 'I don't really care anymore.' I thought there wouldn't be anything fun happening in the future," Noriko said cheerfully, before confessing that she had dropped her smartphone. She also revealed that while she was picking up her smartphone, she went to a convenience store and bought some oden. She also revealed that while she was eating the oden she had bought in front of the convenience store, she put too much mustard on the konnyaku, causing her to react by screaming, "It's so spicy!"
"Apparently I looked sexy, so I was scouted. I guess I'll be an actress?" Noriko said proudly. She happily explained that it was for a gravure photo shoot in the weekly magazine "Yukebijin" and said, "I'm thinking of doing it," and "My second life is going to be sexy!"
Chiaki asked Noriko if she had the business card of the person in charge, and gently warned her, "Well, I'm sure there will be mixed opinions about what Noriko will do from now on, but I'll look into this business card thoroughly. It seems suspicious or not. Don't reply until then!"
After getting ready to go out, Chiaki returned to Noriko and hugged her tenderly. Chiaki patted Noriko on the back to cheer her up, then left the room saying, "I'm off now."
On social media, comments such as "Chiaki-sama really is Noriko's big sister lol", "When she came back to hug Noriko, I thought once again today, Yoshino Chiaki, I really do love you", "The scene where Chiaki and Noriko are best friends was awesome", "After Noriko cheerfully says, 'This is boring, but I think I'll try living a sexy life', Wahei asks if she's OK and Chiaki gives her a hug, I thought it was so kind", "The scene where Noriko hugs him in silence was so amazing I cried", and "This is my favorite drama right now. I think it's because of this cast that it's so entertaining."
