The next morning, Mina explains to Harada why she turned down his proposal of marriage. She tells him that the woman whose medical Mina was taking care of has passed away, and that Mina should hand over the post to him. Harada says that the ministry does not have any demi-humans in its ranks, so he would like to hire a sec-retary. He tells Mina that he saw a name on a list of "firmed demis" and that the case fell on his watch. Mina says that she hired a sec retary around then, which was so unlike Harada. He says that he had him look into the position, too, once, but that he was going to be "big," and that around the time people forget the mess, "reboot those behind-the-scenes activities"
