The 119th episode of the NHK Asadora drama series "Bakebake, " starring Akari Takaishi (NHK General, Monday-Saturday 8:00 AM, etc.), aired on March 19th, and viewers were drawn to a statement made by Toki (Takaishi).
Heaven ( Tommy Bastow ), unable to confide in anyone except Tsukasanosuke(Takashi Okabe Okabe) about being fired from the Imperial University, was struggling with his writing career. He wasn't receiving replies to his letters from Eliza (Charlotte Kate Fox) or other people he knew, and his anxiety was growing. Meanwhile, letters started arriving for Heaven one after another, but he still couldn't find a new job. Heaven broke down, scattering books all over his room.
Toki, worried, Heaven confided that he had been fired from the Imperial University. Toki then smiled and said, "Oh, really...? Well, that's good then. You'll finally have time to yourself. You can write as much as you want. Write a lot. You're a writer, after all."
Heaven apologizes for no longer receiving a monthly salary of 400 yen, but Toki replies, "It's alright. Something like that won't... break up our family." Relieved, Heaven hugs Toki tightly through tears and thanks her, "Thank you, Mama."
Seeing this, Tsukasanosuke said, "That's really great. Now I can write Best Sarah." Toki then asked Heaven, "Have you decided on your next book yet?" Heaven replied, "It's still so difficult."
Toki, though hesitant, suggested, "Well then... for the next book... could you write a story that I can read?" She continued, "There have been so many books so far. So many wonderful books... I've always wanted to read your books, Dad. So... could you write a book that even someone like me, who isn't very educated, can read... a fun book?"
Toki's comments in this scene attracted attention, and comments on social media included: "That's right, you must have wanted to read a book written by someone you love," "So that's why it leads to 'Kaidan' (ghost stories)!", "Rather than a literacy assistant, I hope they arrive at Kaidan through the collaborative work of the couple," "Just one more step to 'Kaidan'!", and "Their marital love is wonderful."
