120

Yamaoka encounters an assertive woman in the street and saves her from a speeding car. The woman then trips and breaks the heel of her shoe and she blames Yamaoka. He discovers that she is Mariko Niki's aunt Teruko. When they meet with her date, the writer Mr. Katamori, she insults him for being late and poorly dressed, and leaves. Later, she arrives at the Touzai offices and invites Yamaoka to dinner, knowing Katamori will be there intending to make him jealous. She invites Yamaoka out again to an exclusive restaurant, but meanwhile Yamaoka contacts Katamori who tells him that Teruko likes chawanmushi and cabbage roll. Yamaoka arranges for the chef to cook jumbo size versions of the dishes. When they are served, Katamori arrives and accuses Teruko of demanding perfection to an equally outrageous degree as the meal, and breaks up with her. She then realizes the flaws in her own character and asks to be forgiven for behaving badly towards him. Later, Teruko visits Yamaoka in the Touzai offices to thank him for repairing her relationship with Katamori and in return offers to help Yamaoka date Mariko Niki, much to Kurita's surprise.
