Her mother has been sick lately so Kyoko goes home to help out for few days. When her stay is longer than expected, Godai starts to worry. When he is taking Soichiro for a walk he meets Mr. Ichinose. The two eat at a food stall and Mr. Ichinose tells Godai how he met his wife. The next day Kyoko tries to tell her mother that she needs to go back to Maison Ikkoku, but her mother won't let her, so she comes up with a story about needing a special pillow or she won't be able to sleep. Mrs. Chigusa calls up Maison Ikkoku and requests the pillow. Godai arrives wearing a suit and delivers Kyoko's pillow. While visiting, Kyoko's parents interrogate him about who he is and what he does. When the subject of girls comes up Godai very delicately hints that he's in love with Kyoko. Of course, her parents don't get it, but Kyoko does, and after Godai leaves she is unexpectedly happy.
