At the beginning of the new year, Hirokazu asks why his boss is so hard on him. He says that he's finally finished his work for the year, and everyone is happy to be back at work. He's looking forward to a new year with everyone else, and he asks if they'll be able to reunite with the Kagoshimas this year. He also asks whether they're going to go back to their old home for the holidays, and Hiroki says he doesn't think he'll go back this year, since he forgot to buy a bullet train or a plane for the new years.
