Right as Hiroshi got accepted into T University, his father disappeared after sinking into a colossal debt, which the man took on for one of his friends as a joint guarantor, and Hiroshi had to take hard-labor jobs after his classes to make ends meet. Eventually, Manami dumps him after he quits college following falling ill from juggling work and study. Ten years later at the class reunion party, Manami kept making fun of Hiroshi and bragged about her husband making $150,000 a year.

It turns out he made the site with the help of Mitsuki and reached an agreement with an American telecommunications company to improve its servers.
