■ Shinji Ishimaru & City Council Member Izumi Hug on an "Extended Drive Date"! Izumi's Confession "Only I Can Cure Shinji's Love Sickness" - What is Shinji's Answer?
In the final episode #6, the last "medicine," the "Fateful Confession Time," was prescribed, and each person conveyed their final feelings.
Meanwhile, Nishitokyo City Council member Izumi, who had temporarily left for work, went on an "extended" drive date with Shinji (Shinji Ishimaru) to make a final push. She actively closed the distance using "love medicine" she prepared herself, such as "wanting to speak casually," "wanting to hold hands," and "wanting to hug."
The two exchanged hugs, albeit bashfully. After the date, Izumi, who smiled and said, "It was embarrassing, but feeling Shinji's warmth was a valuable experience," decided to confess to Shinji.
Then came the confession time. Izumi conveyed her feelings directly, saying, "I was attracted to your honesty, seriousness, and wonderful smile," and "I believe only I can cure Shinji's love sickness." However, Shinji replied, "I'm sorry, Izumi. I found it difficult to build such a relationship with you." Izumi, who expressed her gratitude and left, commented, "Although it didn't bear fruit, remembering the feeling of love is a treasure." The studio also sent encouraging words for her positive outlook, saying, "Let's give Izumi a seed right!" and "I love her so much I'd ask her to continue!"

On the other hand, entrepreneur Ryusei confessed to former top gravure idol Natsuko. To Ryusei, who conveyed his feelings saying, "I can be myself when I'm with Nacchan," Natsuko replied, "Yes, please, let's start as friends."
Furthermore, the two revealed their "secret absolute conditions" that they had written on the first day. Ryusei declared, "Absolutely no living together." Regarding the reason, he explained, "I feel like I would often hurt her if we lived together," and "I'm a man who wants to do various things chaotically, so I might make her feel lonely." However, he also revealed his true feelings, saying, "But being with Nacchan, I'm wavering a bit."
Then, Natsuko seemed surprised, saying, "My absolute condition might match yours," and revealed her own condition: "Someone who allows me to travel abroad alone more than 10 times a year." She explained, "My time to be free by myself is also very important." This revealed their "twisted yet perfectly matching values."
Finally, they exchanged hugs and formed a couple "starting as friends." The studio also raised cheers of celebration, saying, "That's really good!" and "What an amazing coincidence!" Hiroyuki also showed surprise, saying, "It's amazing that such twisted conditions, generally speaking, happened to match."
