"I couldn't let go of you," Asaoka heard from Hiroki (Kei Tanaka Kei). "Not just you, but Shiori too. Even a six-month-old baby with tiny hands, once they grab you they won't let go. That means they had a hold on your heart too," Asaoka agreed.
Then Hiroki receives a call from Miu (Matsumoto) saying that she has got a job. Asaoka says, "That's great news! You should go home soon."
"Next time, please tell me your story, Mr. Asaoka," said Hiroki as he headed to leave. "About me?! That's fine! It'll just get long!" Asaoka declined, to which Hiroki replied with a smile, "Why not?! I'm looking forward to it," and left the store.
After that, Asaoka was left alone and picked up his smartphone. He was shown calling someone, blushing and saying, "Oh, hello? How are you? Well, I just wanted to hear your voice."
On social media, people were saying things like, "I'm glad Master was there!", "I'm still curious about who Master was on the phone with for that last minute," and "It's good that Hiroki, who was previously the one being gently nudged by Master, now made the decision to give Master a push."
Other comments included, "I also want to see a spin-off of Master," "I really want a spin-off of Master," "Since they hinted at Master's past, I'm looking forward to the spin-off, 'Master's Treasure,'" and "I'll listen to what Master has to say, right? That's just a prelude to the spin-off, right?"
