So now that Seiji and Aiko are back to raburabu land her dad is annoyed to no end at how they keep being all mushy around him. They even make a second “rule” plaque which includes “no keeping secrets” and “no kissing”. Also unfortunately for all you guys rooting for Narumi x Aiko, the show does not appear to be in that direction, it seems like a strictly professional relationship. At work, that ho still keeps hitting on Seiji but little does she realize that he doesn’t give a flying crap. Also Makihara is upset with Narumi because he is paying more attention to Aiko than her.

Narumi has plans to see the guy who’s the owner of the Atlas corporation. He says he will take Makihara and Aiko with him but Makihara argues that there’s no reason to take Aiko because she’s a noob. Narumi just tells her that if she doesn’t like it, then she does not need to go with them. Seiji in the meantime has been staying over Aiko’s house and cleaning and cooking. One night Narumi stops by and has a chat with her dad telling him that he wants to “take care of Aiko” in a strictly business sense because he says he needs a person like her to help him with his work.

Aiko is glad to hear that the “love” thing was just her dad’s misunderstanding and she says she really wants to help Narumi as well. When they go to a hotel to see the Atlas guy, they find him playing with his son on the beach. He tells Narumi that he will not do a deal because he himself started his company from scratch while Narumi got it handed to him on a silver platter because of his father. Narumi says he understands and says he is envious that Atlas was able to do it on his own. Before leaving Aiko tells Mr. Atlas that she really thinks his clothing designs have a “warmth” to them and gives him her card.

Back at the hotel, the ho who likes Seiji is spying on Narumi and Aiko. She calls her her coworkers and tells them that the two of them are going out. At the table, Narumi tells Aiko that the reason he wants her to break up with Seiji, is he wants her to focus on her job rather than on her wedding. Basically he has plans to start his own company. In case you didn’t know, most women in Japan quit their jobs after getting married to have babies and Japanese men know this, so hiring a woman for an important job does not happen too often. So with this in mind, Narumi says she has to choose between marriage and career. Just then Aiko’s dad calls yelling at her for not picking up the phone and demanding to talk to Narumi. Aiko refuses but Narumi takes the phone and says that he will “take care” of Aiko, and then Aiko takes the phone telling her father that she decided to “follow Narumi”. Meanwhile Mr. Atlas has left a message for Makihara saying just this once he will agree to work with Narumi, although I’m not sure if she will deliver this message to him.
