Among them, Mika has a strong desire to get married and seems to take an active part in searching for a marriage partner, but she has never asked herself why she wants to marry so badly. That said, Hayako herself unexpectedly feels loneliness in the course of her daily life without any particular reason. She is not concerned about marriage even though she wants to marry the person she loves some day. That is until her father collapses and is hospitalised one day. His life is not in danger, Hayako suggests that her parents close their tofu shop. But the next morning, she sees her mother fumbling with the preparation of the tofu alone in the shop. Seeing the commitment and strong bonds of her parents, who have been together for a long time, through her own eyes, Hayako finally starts to consider marriage seriously. She forms a “matchmaking alliance” with Mika, Umeko and Rentaro. Although they cannot get accustomed to things such as matchmaking parties, premonition of romance with someone younger, they take the first step towards marriage.
