Back at work, Hirokazu reports that he's looking forward to the company's exhibition in a month's time. He thanks her for all her hard work and tells her that she's a "life saver" for the company. He also says that he has decided to split the duties of preparing the exhibition into two parts: one to himself and one to his boss. He's surprised to find out that he can learn so much from his boss, but he also wants to learn more about the exhibition. He asks if they should take a break from their work to have lunch. He says he bought lunch while out shopping and that's why he hasn't had a bite to eat yet. He wonders if he should have been rude to Kudo on the trip to the office. He thinks that Kudo is a "pretty reliable man" and that he should come and think of it. He doesn't want to see Kudo again.
