Plot
Minato has been the president of the Kibou Company for half a year now and when he enters the office he finds it to be empty. Soon, Guide joins him and informs him of the whereabouts of the other employees. In the meantime, Minato offers to help her with her paperwork, but immediately regrets it after finding out how much work is needed to be done.

Afterward, the two take a lunch break and have a picnic together in a lush and open green field. Once this is over they return to the office, where a man with an eyepatch tries to claim the company owes him money for a weapon called Excaliber. The eyepatch-wearing man acts abrasively over the claims and tries to coerce Minato to pay him for the weapon, however, Guide puts him in his place. Acting more cordially now, the eyepatch man apologizes and leaves. That night the two go to a bar and when they're walking home, Guide tells Minato what he was like when he was a kid, but he passes out midway due to being inebriated.

The following day, Minato is invited by Akari to join her on a shopping trip around the town to help her buy a present for someone. They both first stop in an equipment shop and look at the weapons and armor for sale, but none of the items appeal to Akari. Later they enjoy a kabob together and Akari finds a rare collector item for sale, but Minato informs her that it's a counterfeit. Soon the two enter an accessory shop and after being displeased with many of the items for sale there, Minato suggests a Tie Bar to her and she gets it. As it turns out the Tie Bar was for Minato as a show of appreciation toward him. Moved by Akari's present, Minato is then asked by her for money for a fair home, however, he forgot his wallet.
