The next morning, Riiko wakens in shock to see Night's face closing in to kiss her. To her surprise, Night is a great cook as she sees the neat breakfast he prepared for her, which he reminds Riiko that it was part of her requirements for him(her ideal boyfriend) to be a great cook when she took the survey.
When Ishemeki insulted Riiko, he toppled the box of cream puffs which Riiko intended to pass to him. Curious, Soshi tasted one of the cream puffs and becomes amazed by its unique taste. At work, Soshi's father and his brother discuss that the company is in need of a new product which would be sold at Touto Departmental Stores. The reluctant and uninterested Soshi is assigned to come up with a sample for this crucial assignement.
He approaches Riiko and shows interest in her cream puffs to be used for the new product. At home, Night does the housework like sewing and cleaning. Outside his apartment, he saves the landlady as she slips while fixing the lights. She is instantly mesmerized by Night's dashing look.
As the 5 day free trial period draws to an end, the head at Kronos Heaven plans to retrieve Night and find the next test subject. Namikiri however objects as he believes Riiko's rare down to earth character fits perfectly as a test subject for Night. To do so, he needs to make sure that Night will no longer be used as a free product. Namikiri visits Riiko, who awaits him anxiously to take Night back, and spare her from the annoyance of his presence. (Night constantly calls Riiko 'girlfriend', says 'I love you' and claims himself as her ideal boyfriend in front of Riiko's colleagues. He even sprays water on his body, does push ups and poses sexy before Riiko as part of her requirements during the survey.)
Namikiri uses the contract against Riiko, which she didn't read through thoroughly, to ensure that she buys Night. One of the terms states 'should the product be damaged or repaired during the trial period, he will be considered sold'. The price however is 100 million yen!!
Riiko however is given the option to return Night if she can settle the repair fees of 1 million yen within the next 7 days.
But Riiko's total savings only make up 601 255 yen, which is far from enough. She applies to work as a hostess at a cabaret club after work, and is sighted by Soshi who visits the place. He follows her to the kitchen, and is fascinated by her delicate culinary skills. Mika who shows interest in Night after an incident where Night stopped a robber who snatched Riiko's handbag turns up at Riiko's place and is received by Night. She purposely hints that Riiko is keeping something from him hoping to sow discord between them. Night however expresses puzzled at her words.
When Riiko hasn't come home late that night, Night sets out to the bar to look for her. The lady boss discloses to him about Riiko's financial problems lately. Night later finds Soshi carrying a drunken Riiko on his way to her apartment. Both the guys introduce each other, with Night unfriendly at the start, but soon confirms Soshi's good intentions. Soshi says Night should act more like a boyfriend.
The following night, Riiko comes home and realizes Night is missing. In truth, he is out taking night jobs doing labour work. His tremondous strength and stamina earns the boss's praise. Alone, Riiko calls Namikiri, asking what will happen to Night after she returns him. Namikiri tells her that Night's data archive and memories of her will be deleted, before he is scrapped completely. Riiko hesitates but still insists she will pay the fees and return Night.
As she was fired from the job at the club, she takes up a job as a dishwasher. On her way home, she sees Night dressed as a delivery man, loading boxes onto a truck. Suddenly, he retreats into a sitting posture to recharge. Startled, she walks forth and covers him with a large empty box just as the manager comes looking for him.
He mistakes her for Night's girlfriend and conveys that Night claimed to him that he is willing to do anything for his girlfriend. Riiko expresses subtle sentiments at these words. When asked if she's coming to check on Night, Riiko pretends so, and lies that Night has gone to the toilet while pushing Nights' feet into the box to avoid him being noticed. Night soon recovers and helps Riiko, who is loading the boxes for him.
Riiko consolidates their recently earned money, and Night's totals 350000 yen. Riiko shows sign of gratitude and remorse at the same time. Before leaving for work, Riiko hands Night an envelope containing the repair fees to hand over to Namikiri when he arrives. She also instructs him to place the house key in the mailbox when he leaves the house. Looking at Night for the last time, she hurries to work without telling him her decision to return him.
At the office kitchen, Riiko demonstrates the recipe of her cream puffs to Soshi who observes in amazed silence. Riiko compliments his drawing of a house she saw earlier on, and asks the meaning of the drawing. Soshi tells her that her cream puff reminds him of his grandfather who founded Asamoto. When he was still a kid, he would teach him a lot of things and treat him to his delicious cream puffs. The drawing is the house his grandpa once lived in.
During the baking, Riiko realizes Night's bracelet in her handbag and so rushes back home to return it after instructing a puzzled Soshi what to do when the baking completes. Outside her apartment, the landlord lady tells Riiko that she saw Night leaving with a man a short while ago.
At the street, Riiko catches sight of Namikiri's car driving away and chases on. Namikiri notices her and stops the car. As she is about to hand over the bracelet, she looks at Night, who is smiling at her with his innocent eyes. Flashes of Night's thoughtful actions of the past few days dawn on her mind and after much consideration, she tells Namikiri firmly that she will buy Night from him. Namikiri looks on at her in surprise.
