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?
The moment that I decided 
to live my life as a man...
...بعد أن كنت قد قرّرت عيش حياتي كرجل
Als ich mich dazu entschied,
mein Leben als Mann zu verbringen,
Cuando decidí vivir mi vida
como un hombre
Cuando decidí vivir mi vida
como un hombre
J’ai alors décidé de continuer
de mener une vie d’homme.
Ma proprio quando avevo deciso che
avrei passato il resto della mia vita come un uomo...
E quando me decidi que viveria
o resto da vida como homem...
Ну а решение жить
в облике мужчины я приняла...
