Momose and Shirosaki stay at a hot spring inn when it is decided that they will go on a business trip. At the same time, Aoyama and Kinjo go on a single-day business trip to Kumatte Land. After arriving at the inn, Shirosaki realizes something important when he sees Momose naturally enjoying his time. On the other hand, Aoyama and Kinjo are suddenly hit with heavy rain on their way home after walking around and finishing up at Kumatte Land. Thanks to assistance from the public relations staff, the two stay at the hotel. But Kinjo catches a cold….

While enjoying his time living at Shirosaki's home, Momose finally decides to tell Shirosaki about his former boss, Kurono, properly. From when he first started at the company, how he thought he had to live up to Kurono's expectations, to the power harassment that worsened day by day, Momose tries his best to tell it all. Later, Momose returns to his apartment for a change of clothes. Although it is dark and he can barely see, Momose catches a glimpse of a shadowy figure outside his apartment from the window!

Momose and Shirosaki's next business trip takes them to Shirosaki's hometown in Akita Prefecture. Shirosaki is triggered by the trauma of being snatched up by a namahage demon as a child during the local festival, but he is able to complete their field research safely. Previously, Shirosaki received a phone call from his grandmother saying, "I have something I want to show you," so the two head to Shirosaki's family home. At his grandmother's suggestion, they look at and reminisce over old photo albums when his grandmother reveals that "what she wants to show" is something Shirosaki never expected.
