One day, Seiji receives an odd request from Kounosuke to look into the background of a seaweed wholesaler named Hansuke that he is on good terms with. Stylish and dashing, Hansuke is a ladies man who has a talent for business despite his age and his seaweed wholesale shop has been very successful, but Kounosuke is suspicious of his unusual generosity towards him believing that Hansuke has ulterior motives. Seiji is unable to find out anything unusual about Hansuke, but while out on a boating trip he notices that Hansuke has an odd reaction to the kiseru that Goi inhabits. What kind of past connection do Goi and Hansuke have?
I remember that whenever 
the topic of seaweed comes up.
.أتذكّر ذلك كلّما فُتح موضوع الأعشاب البحريّة
Daran muss ich immer
beim Thema Algen denken.
Lo recuerdo
cada vez que encuentro algas.
Lo recuerdo
cada vez que encuentro algas.
Ces souvenirs me reviennent
dès qu’il est question d’algues.
E quando si parla di nori,
mi viene in mente questa storia.
Eu lembro disso sempre
que falam sobre alga.
Постоянно вспоминаю эту историю,
 как разговор заходит о нори.
