Six years later, Daiki Mamura and Suzume Yosano are seen talking in an apartment after she returns from Yukichi Kumamoto's wedding. After they talk, Mamura is about to propose to Suzume. However, his plan to propose has been interrupted by Yuyuka calling Suzume where Mamura then decides not to propose, thinking that he still has a lot of time left.
In his office, Mamura's boss called him and talk to him about something. Whilst, he's hanging out with Kotetsu Sarumaru and Manabu Inukai, Inukai asks about Mamura's job and he tells them that he’s being transferred to Fukuoka for a big project. Sarumaru and Inukai are sad but suggest that this is a good time for Mamura and Suzume to get married. However, Mamura stating that it’s selfish of him to tell her to follow him because it seemed wrong for her to drop everything and go with him just because she loves him. Sarumaru tells Mamura that he’s pretty annoying because he overthinks too much.
Mamura then flashback to the past, he had always been like that when it came to Suzume. Mamura remembers when he collapsed because of the fever with Suzume by his side. He refused to cancel a movie date with Suzume, in which prompts Suzume telling him that he’s unexpectedly the annoying type. But he tells her the reason why he didn’t cancel the date: it was the first date together as an actual couple and he wouldn't cancel a day like that. This flusters Suzume and she kisses him and tells him to get better soon so that they can re-do this date. After the kiss, Suzume went back home, though she ends up getting sick along with Mamura.
Back to the present, Mamura doesn't know how to break the news to Suzume. He doesn't want to break up with her, believing his happiness might not be her happiness. He starts to feel like a coward and begins to understand a little bit how Satsuki Shishio felt back then.
Suzume meets up with her friends and Nana Kameyoshi mentions that Sarumaru told her about Mamura's transfer. Suzume is quite surprised since it's the first time she heard it. She then goes to Mamura's place and waits for him. Mamura comes to his place and is surprised to see Suzume there. She confronts him about Fukuoka and the reason why he didn’t tell her. She begins to question him if she mattered to him or if he was going to break up with her. Mamura answers no because he was unsure if this would make her happy. Suzume puts her hands on Mamura's cheeks and tells him that what makes her happy are cooking delicious fish and being with Mamura; She can find and learn how to cook delicious fish anywhere in the world but there is only one Mamura. Mamura understands and asks Suzume to marry him. He said asks to stand beside him, promising her that she won't regret it. Suzume is overwhelmed and she accepts with a dorky answer. However, she cannot just resign from her job, she asks him to wait one year or maybe six months. Mamura says he that will wait for her. He then looks forward to the day when she will come running to him, with her flushed cheeks and sweat gleaming on her forehead.
