While contemplating what to do since his last confession, Mita showed up at home punctually. Keiichi uncertainly told Mita to keep his secret from his kids, not that he didnt want to reveal it but that he would tell them someday later. He told her that the wife had committed suicide the next day after he served her the divorce document. He felt that it was better if the kids did not how then, the real cause of her death. However he would tell them the truth but via him and not Mita. Mita merely replied "understood" and went off to do her work without another word.
The rest of the family after the event last night told the family to get a new Kaseifu due to her oddness. Their father agreed.
Meanwhile that morning, the Tv news reported death of a school kid due to bullying. Unknown to the family, Kaito was also a victim in his class. He was forced to reveal his test answers to help a bully cheat. To make it worse, the bully now threaten Kaito to help them steal a toy.
Kaito was reluctant as he knew that will ruin his chances of entering a good private school if caught. However he was also fearful of the bullies making his life miserable. As such, recalling his father's warning about what the agency woman had said, Kaito turned to Mita and asked her for advice. Mita merely told him "you have to make your own decision for your own matters."
At that Kaito instructed her to "teach" the bully a lesson so that he can get out of helping him to steal. Mita replied "understood."
That night, Kaito reluctantly went to the toy shop and just as the bullies were about to get away, Mita appeared and started to punch the bully in the face! The incident was made known to the school and the head teacher refused to accept the truth that there were any bullying taking place under his nose. Their aunt made it worse for him by going to his class to give some grand speech about school bullying!
At home, Kaito in fit of anger told his family that he will no longer attend public school classes since he can still graduate with no attendance. Instead he will only go to the night tuition class which is better anyway to study in peace and avoid the bullies.
However that night, the bullies located him in his class and threaten him to meet in a remote warehouse or the bully will kill him if he tries to run.
Kaito of course tried to sneak away but he met Mita on way who said emotionalessly"Been a short time but thank you for your guidance all these while." Kaito was shocked and asked if she was reassigned to which she confirmed.
At that moment at loss, Kaito instructed Mita to kill the bully as such a scum will never learn his lesson and even if he grows up, he will only be a society scum and parasite to the society. So it would be better for everyone if he is dead now. Mita again merely replied "understood" and went to the warehouse. Without a word, she walked towards the bully and started to strangle his neck.
Just before the worst could happen, Kaito appeared and stopped her, asking her how could she have gone ahead! Didnt she consider she would be jailed or face capital punishment for her actions? Mita was going to leave with Kaito when the bully started to taunt kaito again, vowing that he will hunt Kaito now and kill him! He went on to call Kaito names like chick shit and coward etc and he was also a bully asking Mita to "stand up" for him. Kaito turned to Mita and asked "Is it better to run or get hurt?" Mita replied "It's your decision for your own matter." Kaito then asked "Does it hurt if one get beaten?" Mita replied "Yes it does." Kaito asked "Have you been hurt before?" Mita replied " yes I had"
With that, Kaito turned around to face his bully and they both started fighting. Kaito yelled at the bully and tried to talk sense into him, that if the bully had kill someone, didnt he know that he will never see that person again? the guilt and grief that follows will never cease. and no amount of apologies can undo the mistake? As he went on screaming at the bully, the bully finally stopped and left not before saying both are crazy and weird!
That night, kaito returned home agreeing with Kii that they didnt want Mita to leave. So they told his father to reinstate Mita. His father agreed.
At that point, their grandfather and aunt appeared and their father was reprimanded by the father in law for being a failure and useless dad infront of the kids. He demanded Keiichi to sack the weird housekeeper Mita but finally keiichi gathered his balls and stood firm saying no he will not.
With that the Father in law was dragged away by his other daughter and left. Mita also left as if nothing unusual or weird had happened...
