izumi raised her son single-handedly. my son successfully graduated from college and got a job. i thought this would be the end of my -raising, but… the company that kojiro joined was a transcendent black company. it was as if there were no days off. worried about kojiro, izumi lied about his grandfather’s passing and took him on a hot spring trip for a change of pace. on that trip, izumi saw his son’s nakedness, which became splendid, and felt that he was a man.
