◇The following contains spoilers.
One day, Hoshino Momoka (Koyuki), the second wife of Takaomi (Bando Yajuro), the secretary-general of the Minseito party, came to Akari's office in a wheelchair. Seeing Mari (Kuroki) for the first time in a long time, Momoka smiled and said, "You look well, even better than when you were living with us," and offered to support Akari. Momoka, the daughter of a prominent family, surprised Mari by saying, "Should I ask my dad too? I could ask him to cut ties with the Minseito party and switch his support to you."
Momoka had only one condition. It was that she wanted the word "true" to be removed from the phrase "towards true barrier-free access" in Akari's campaign promise. When asked why, Momoka said, "It annoys me," and with a charming smile, she added, "I hate it when people talk about barrier-free access with such flimsy, inappropriate words. That's all!"
Social media was buzzing with comments like, "Momoka's here! I knew you'd be the trump card!", "Momoka was so cool!", "I think I like Koyuki's character the best!", "Koyuki is perfect for the role!", and "I thought Koyuki was quiet until now, but she's really showing her true colors!"
The drama is an "election entertainment" story in which Mari Hoshino recruits Akari Tsukioka, a bar owner with no political experience, to run for governor of Tokyo, and takes on the gubernatorial election as her campaign strategist.
