The next day, Eiko finds Kongming passed out on the street and takes him to her home, where she teaches him the basics about modern Japan, and Kongming is convinced he was revived in modern day Japan for a reason. With Eiko's help, Kongming is able to secure a job as a bartender at Eiko's nightclub, the BB Lounge, thanks to her boss being a Three Kingdoms enthusiast. After their shift ends, Eiko reveals that she had once considered committing suicide, but hearing someone sing gave her the motivation to keep living to become a singer who could inspire others as well.
