第12話: 貧困からの脱却を目的にマチコが良史にプロポーズし、その結果生じた債務危機はオトギ銀行によって解決される。

A poor papergirl named Machiko Himura notices her classmate, Ryoushi, leaving his dorm to walk his dogs and mistakenly believes that the Onotnashi dorm is a single residence and that his family owns it (technically it does since his aunt and uncle are the proprietors). Believing she can marry out of poverty, Machiko confronts Ryoushi in class the following day and asks him to marry her. Later, to further her plans, she requests a date with him through the Otogi Bank. Ringo manipulates Ryouko's feelings for Ryoushi and gets her to follow him on his date, hoping that she will be more honest about herself. The date progresses well when Machiko abruptly ends it. A confused Ryoushi leaves but returns in time to save Machiko from loan sharks. A grateful Machiko reveals her motives for the date and proposal: she has been paying off the family debt with the money from her part-time job, but her father ran away with the latest payment. Ryoushi, angry, not at Machiko, but at the situation life has put her in, calls the Otogi Bank to arrange matters. The loan sharks reappear and Ryoushi takes them on with Ryouko joining the fight unexpectedly. After the debt collectors are arrested, the Otogi Bank pays off Machiko's debt and arranges for her to become a tenant at the Otohashi residence. That evening, at Machiko's housewarming party, Machiko wants to confess again but before she can, Ryoushi tells Machiko that he can be manly because of Ryouko, who happens to be eavesdropping. Machiko later bluntly asks Ryouko if she likes him and agrees to back off when, true to her nature, she says that she doesn't dislike him. (Source: Wikipedia)
