Chapter
130: なにも知らない子供たち
Enkon kankei
(The Age of Innocence)
Godai arrives at Maison Ikkoku with Taro and Hanako. Kyoko is surprised to see the children, but Taro ingratiates himself by handing her a caramel. The other tenants waste no time teasing Godai about why he'd bring children home from work, but once he explains everything they are actually a bit more understanding than usual. Kyoko offers to watch the children during the days while Godai works. That night, Hanako's crying keeps Godai awake. Akemi complains about the noise so he has to rush outside and try to quiet the crying baby down. Kyoko runs out to meet him and is able to calm Hanako. An intimate moment between Godai and Kyoko is cut short as Hanako wets herself. The next morning Kyoko and Mrs. Ichinose see Godai off and promise to watch after the kids. Ichinose cannot believe how much Godai takes on for other people, but Kyoko just smiles and says it's so like him to do that. At work Godai gets Kasumi's address and decides to track her down. As Godai heads out once more, Mitaka meets with his parents and tells them that he wants them to meet the woman he intends to marry, a woman who isn't Asuna Kujo. His easy-going folks laugh and agree to it, and so Mitaka calls the Chigusa's to make the arrangements. Kyoko's mother decides to help set up things, as they both think Kyoko will have to go through with the marriage if they can lure her into meeting Mitaka's parents.

When Kyoko grabs the phone, Kasumi puts Godai on and quickly makes her escape. The next few days pass by and everyone gets used to having two new faces around the apartment building. Suddenly she gets a phone call from her mother, who lures her into meeting Mitaka's parents by telling her that they're having a birthday party for her father. Mrs. Chigusa calls Mitaka to tell him that the meeting is on, but leaves out the details about luring Kyoko to it under false pretenses.

(Treacherous Night)
Godai rushes to the hotel to interrupt the meeting between the Chigusa and Mitaka families. Mitaka learns of this and secretly welcomes his arrival.

The good natured couple are completely charmed by her honesty however and continue to happily accept her as their future daughter in law.

As he learns the truth and has Taro handed off to him, he tries to find out where Kyoko is. Mrs. Chigusa refuses to tell him, but Taro remembers and Godai rushes off to the gardens with the children in tow. Spying the approaching Godai, Mitaka hurries Kyoko to the beach while he doubles back to confront Yusaku. The two exchange angry words, with Shun accusing Godai of using the children to crash the prenuptial meeting, and Godai points out that Mitaka lied to get Kyoko to come in the first place. Unfortunately, Taro and Hanako almost fall into a nearby pond, and while trying to reach them Godai falls in, giving Mitaka time to sneak back to Kyoko and get away, but not before he tells Godai that Kyoko won't be coming home that night. Godai can only return to Maison Ikkoku, while Mitaka and Kyoko visit an upscale hotel for drinks. Mitaka reveals that he acted boldly in order to make Kyoko stay with him and orders drinks, revealing to her that he has reserved a room for the two of them in hopes of her staying with him, and that he will continue to reserve the room every night until she opens up to him.

She can only say that he is putting her in an akward position. The pair go out for a walk and Kyoko uses the opportunity to call Ikkoku and check in. Mrs. Ichinose answers and tells her that Godai has gone out for the night, but neglects to mention that he and her father are looking for her. As they walk along the beach, Mitaka wonders out loud if Kyoko is trying to think of a way to end things with him, telling her that there would be no good way to do it.
