Keisuke and Aya witness their fierce battle, and Naoki is anxious about Yuki's promiscuity.

She goes to a dating party and meets men who are full of confidence – like the Ebisu district. Aya falls in love with Takayuki, a handsome elite businessman. She chooses to shine as a Tokyo woman rather than be satisfied with happiness that she can earn back home.
