Unable to confess to his sister that "I resigned", Liang secretly went to the job market where Hui worked and tried to go through the unemployment insurance procedures behind Hui's back. However, he once again caused a big commotion because he didn't keep the door open!?
At this point, Liang has been unable to return to the company and has no introducer for the screenwriting job.Ryo realizes that winning a prize in a competition is the shortest way to become a screenwriter.So I decided to sign up for the Newcomer Screenwriting Competition, which Kurosaki serves as a judge.However, there are only 3 days left before the deadline, but I still can’t find the topic I want to write about, and my pen is completely stuck.It would be nice if the third daughter, Jin (Nari Nagahama), was by my side at this time...

With such confusion, the eldest daughter Megumi (Nimura Sayaka) encouraged her: “You can do what you want to doScreenwriting work, this is already a miracle, so be sure to seize this opportunity.”Liang also made up his mind because of this, “even if it is writing promotional copy, I will try my best!”
She thought she could at least write promotional copy, but her low expectations came to nothing. The job she was assigned was to handle Jiahui's daily chores.Repairing furniture, replacing lights and kettles in rooms... it was completely different than imagined.
Liang went to Jiahui to argue, but Jiahui asked her: Are you really willing to do anything?“ Jiahui's new drama is currently being created. She plans to write a story about modern men and women who meet and fall in love through dating software.However, just before the deadline, the character creation hit a bottleneck, and even one episode had not been completed.Jiahui asked Liang Shuo: ” help me research the real image of modern men.“Liang thought” let’s give it a try.“ decided to use the blind date software personally...

Even if Megumi (Nimura Sayaka)'s savings are added, the current Machida family cannot do it anyway.Despite this, Ryo, who didn't want to rely on anyone, still showed off his skills in front of the sisters and said "I will use my royalties to make up for it". Although he wanted to get the royalties from Kanae, he was flatly rejected "You haven't written anything yet".In the world of screenwriters, post-payment is the norm.What's more, Ryo, who has no achievements yet, can't get money so easily...

At the workplace of the eldest daughter Megumi (Sawa Nimura), her colleague Sakura (Wakana Sakai) bravely exposed the sexual harassment of her boss.However, since Sakura is an informal employee, no one believes her.Although Hui sympathizes with Sakura who is isolated, she is also afraid of losing her job if she helps Sakura. During the hearing and investigation by her superiors, Hui is caught in a dilemma...
The fourth daughter Mei (Meiu Hata), who aspires to become a fashion designer, is regarded as a thorn in the eyes of her classmates because she protects Numata (Tatsuo Fukada), who has been a paid date.But Ya didn't care about the surrounding eyes and devoted herself to the fashion competition.At this moment, Mei and Numata received good news...
Ryo (Mayu Hotta), who made her debut as a screenwriter with a spin-off drama with a credit, wanted to report this to Jin, so she sent a message on LINE.At that moment, a large number of messages that Liang had sent continuously in the past two years were suddenly marked with a “read” mark!Ryo hurriedly dialed the phone, but Jin (Niri Nagahama) didn't answer...

However, JC replied that because the nature of the incident was not serious enough, an investigation could not be launched.Taiga said to the dejected Kei: I think Kei should think more about herself.Megumi was greatly shocked when she heard that her colleague Sakura (Sakai Wakana) resigned because she reported sexual harassment to her boss...
On the other hand, Mei (Meiu Hata), who passed the preliminary round of the fashion competition, has greatly increased her self-confidence and proposed to Numata (Tatsuo Fukada): If I win the championship, the two of us will create a brand together.Imagining a future with Numata's younger brother, Makoto (Nagase Yahiro), Mei is immersed in a happy atmosphere, but cannot understand Numata's true intentions...
Under such circumstances, Liang, who was running around looking for Jin's whereabouts, found a large number of business cards in the wardrobe used by Jin.Those business cards are printed with the titles of corporate executives such as “Chairman” and “CEO”.What on earth is going on!?
In order to find the missing third daughter Jin (Nagarhama Miru), Ryo (Hotita Mayu) and Ritsu (Ichinose Sa) came to a rural town by the sea, and finally found Jin... However, they had not seen each other for two years.Jin's appearance shocked the two of them.She has gone from a young girl to a woman known as “Mom”. Compared with when she was an actress, she is completely different...!
Jin, why did you show up with your child?Liang couldn't figure it out for a moment, and couldn't even care about being happy about the reunion, so he started questioning Jin.“Why did you disappear suddenly?What are you doing here?We have been worried about you!”Facing Liang, Jin frankly expressed his true thoughts: “Because I am not the angelic sister Liang you think.”
Ryo couldn't accept Jin's change. He was so shocked that he couldn't even put in work... At this time, Mei (Meiu Hata), who was about to participate in the final judging of the fashion competition with his classmate Numata (Ryuu Fukada), sent Ryo a message., telling her that she must come.So, Ryo, Ritsu, and Megumi (Nimura Sayaka) went to the judging venue to cheer for Mei...

However, Kana suddenly announced: “The screenwriter for the next work has been determined.It's time for you to find a job by yourself, so Liang became unemployed from the next day...
On the other hand, Megumi (Sawa Nimura) also quit her job at an employment agency.In order to allow informal civil servants who have suffered workplace harassment like themselves to work with peace of mind, Megumi and Sakura (Sakai Wakana) started a signature campaign to demand improvement in the treatment of informal civil servants.Hui, who is busy running around every day, seems to have something she wants to discuss with Ryo, but it is always difficult to talk...

After Megumi got married, Mei (Meiu Hata) also set off to study in France.The originally bustling Machida house became empty, leaving Ryo alone.I have no job and no family. I just watch TV blankly at home every day...
Is this really good?Should he have accepted Ritsu's proposal in the first place?Ryo became confused about what was important to him.At this moment, the TV series producer Kakigaya (Asami Usuda), whom he had not contacted for a long time, called.She hoped that Ryo could write the script for the special drama instead of the screenwriter who suddenly quit... This should have been a great opportunity to cheer people up.However, the theme of the play is friendship and love between men and women.Ryo, who lost confidence in his own values, could only write old-fashioned stories, which greatly disappointed the production team.
