The 60th episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Bakebake " (General TV, Monday to Saturday 8:00 AM and other times), starring Akari Takaishi , was broadcast on December 19th, and viewers reacted to the words Heaven ( Tommy Bastow) said to Toki (Takaishi).
In episode 60, Toki visits Daiouji Temple to listen to the ghost story "The Woman Who Buys Starch Candy" for Heaven. At Hanada Inn, Toki is at the height of happiness as he tells Heita (played by Katsuhisa Namase) and the others about the joy of telling ghost stories with Heaven every night.
Then Nishikori (Ryo Yoshizawa Ryo) comes to Toki asking him to tell a ghost story for Heaven. Toki is happy that he has already started telling one, but Nishikori tells him, "The more ghost stories you tell, the closer the diary will be to completion, and the teacher will... be gone from here," which leaves Toki with mixed feelings.
Toki returns to Heaven's house, his mind elsewhere. When Heaven begs him to hurry up and tell him a ghost story, Toki lies, saying that he can't get the stubborn stains off the pot, and tells her, "No ghost stories today." Heaven quickly cleans the pot and says, "I wish you well." Wanting to avoid telling a ghost story, Toki tells Heaven to go take a bath, but Heaven urges him, "Take a bath! Take a bath!"
Heaven asked Toki, "Do you hate Kaidan... Catarrh?" Toki replied, "I... love... listening. I love your stories... your ideas... your words." Toki had a complicated expression on his face, then smiled and said, "Yes." He then recounted the story of "The Woman Who Buys Starch Syrup" that he had heard from the head priest of Daiouji Temple, and Heaven expressed her gratitude by saying, "Thank you."
On social media, people were saying things like, "So that means he likes Toki-chan!!" "It made my heart flutter", "It's basically a confession of love", "It's a confession, but is he aware of it?", "It sounded like a confession of love to me, and Toki-chan's expression afterwards was just too beautiful", "Toki-chan would be happy if someone said that to her", and "They already love each other.
