Seiji is consulted by Katsusaburo for his help in determining how his fiancée, Sanae, truly feels after Katsusaburo spots the man that she used to be involved with and begins to have doubts. When speaking about this matter with Hansuke, the businessman mentions that it would be the perfect opportunity to invite the young couple, along with another troubled couple, Kounosuke and Ohana, to a tea party. While listening to the more socially savvy Hansuke recount a story about trouble romance, Seiji suddenly has an epiphany regarding the search for the incense burner, Suou.
