Naruse encounters Ritsuko Hayata (Hikari Ishida) at a soba restaurant. The conversation turns to Chiaki and Kazuhira Nagakura (Nakai).
"Until recently, I'd get angry and frustrated about a lot of things. That was my life. But now I don't feel so angry," said Ritsuko. Naruse asked, "Is it thanks to Nagakura Wahei?" Ritsuko admitted this, so Naruse asked, "Are you... in love?" Ritsuko replied, "When I see those two, I can't help but think that."
Naruse said, "I think I'm definitely in love with Yoshino. In my case, I was living a quiet life like the sea is calm, but it's interesting how my heart has started to move in various ways. It's not that I've become dissatisfied with my quiet life."
While Naruse feels he needs to come to terms with his feelings for Chiaki, he wants to avoid making a fool of himself. He feels more and more that he doesn't want to let this wonderful encounter go like that.
On social media, comments such as "'I think I'm in love' are very straightforward but such gentlemanly and touching words...Naruse-san is just too cool," "Both Naruse-sensei and Ritsuko are a little sad," "They both think their love will never come true, but they can't stop loving each other," and "I hope Naruse-sensei will be happy!" were posted.
