"There was Mika-san, right? She was a senior at the time and worked in publishing, and she did business with Keiko, right?" Chiaki reported that she had met her senior, Watanabe Mika (Kosaka Miyuki), by chance at their usual girls' get-together. "(Mika) was as cool as ever. She told me that she's starting up a production company and working hard," she recalled.
Keiko, who had been listening to the story, looked serious as she asked Chiaki, "Does that mean you didn't make any promises, sign any contracts, or pay any money?" Hearing Chiaki's reply, "No, I didn't," Keiko said with relief, "Ah, that's good," but she also pointed out, "That wasn't a coincidence. I went to see Chiaki. I wanted to trick her," implying that it was an attempt to get Chiaki's retirement money.
"So, I was almost taken advantage of?" Chiaki couldn't hide her shock. "I was so happy. It seemed like he really understood me," she said, sipping her champagne. "I felt like I was made to look like an insignificant person. It's a bit frustrating."
On social media, people were raving about how "scammers not only take away your money, but your self-esteem too", "It must be so frustrating, you end up drinking heavily", "Wow, it was almost a scam? That's scary", "Well, almost any story that involves money is a scam", "So Kosaka was a scammer lol", "An investment scam aimed at retirement benefits. It's a cruel world", "This girls get along really well", and "I love the girls' night out scene. I envy how much fun it would be if we could all get together like this and drink after work."
