One day, Momose and Shirosaki come upon an abandoned kitten in a cardboard box along the side of the road. At first, the kitten was scared of Shirosaki and intimidated him. But because of Shirosaki's gentle words and actions, the kitten gets attached and decides to go live with him. Since taking in and raising the kitten, Shirosaki struggles to decide on a name when he suddenly remembers the time he mistook a tanuki for an abandoned cat during his childhood. Shirosaki recalls the name he and his grandmother gave the tanuki back on that sad day they returned it to the mountains. What name will Shirosaki give to the kitten…?!

The group – Momose, Shirosaki, Aoyama, and Kinjo – end up going to a last-minute mixer. Momose becomes depressed when bad memories resurface of a mixer he attended with his previous boss. But as the current mixer kicks off, Momose and the others get absorbed in Aoyama's story. When Kinjo follows Aoyama, who had left his seat during the mixer, and asks if there's anyone he is interested in, Aoyama becomes somewhat evasive. It seems there is a reason that Aoyama has become the life of the party…!
