During the reunion, Takiko makes a shocking statement about their father Kotaro, asserting that the old man is secretly cheating on their mother Fuji by having an affair with a mistress. She does not stop here & even goes on to claim that he also has an illegitimate child with the other woman.

Taken aback by Takiko’s words for their father, all the other girls show hesitation in believing any of her allegations but eventually agree to keep everything hidden from Fuji until they find out the truth. What happens next & how this one discussion changes the lives of the entire Takezewa forever is the remaining story of the series.
