The four women calmly rids the hotel room of evidence. Meanwhile, Miwa (Yuko Oshima) orders the hotel manager to delete records of President Ichihara's stay at the hotel.

Prior to this, President Ichihara asked Keitaro (Yosuke Eguchi) if he died in some place other than his home, make it look like he died in his home. Keitaro currently runs a ramen restaurant, but he used to work as a judicial scrivener and as a secretary for a politician. He sent the 5 women to the VIP hotel room to take care of the situation.
