New employee Ito-kun (Hasegawa Shinya) speaks passionately, but Chief Okada (Shiotsuka Kohei) brushes it off by saying, "What's right isn't always the right answer." Wakako (Takeda Rina) thinks, "There are certainly some things you can only understand after time has passed." And so, today, I'm drinking alone again. I go into a restaurant with two U-shaped counters. When the thick-sliced ​​ham cutlet is brought to me, I order it without hesitation. I pair it with draft beer. When I was a student, I thought ham cutlets were thin. I didn't understand back then, but I do now. Both thin and thick cuts have their own merits. On my way home, Wakako is in a hurry because she really wants to eat Atka mackerel. At Oraku, the chef (Nozoe Yoshihiro) and others welcome her as usual. While waiting for the Atka mackerel to be grilled, she orders... cold sake and snacks.
