On a drive, Haruko told Yuji that Yoshizawa married a French foreigner from Burkina Faso.

Photos of a spray-painted missing poster of Haruko spread online and created a bunch of rumors.

Meanwhile, Masabu and Yukio were in a car and were interrupted by Aina, all three bought some supplies and at night they spray-painted a bunch of missing posters of Haruka all over the town.

After learning that vandalism can lead to three years in prison and a fine of 300,000 yen, and hearing that a bunch of high school girls attacked random men due to the missing poster, Yukio quits.

Masabu tried to talk to Aina who was waiting in a car outside, when he was beat up by the high school girl gangs.

At a store, a man told Haruko that Hitomi, her best friend, was cheating with his husband with Yuji.
