(Taken after episode 23 where Sakamoto dan Yorozuya crushed in a deserted planet filled with sand)
Later at night..
"Mutsu, wait for me! Listen to what I say," Tatsuma stopping the hand of Mutsu.
"What else should I hear from you? You're no match for hachikin like me, isn't that clear?"
"That's not what I meant to said."
"Then, what? Earth girls are the best, you said. Am I not satisfy you enough? Is that because I'm an Amanto? I'm sure marrying me is a mistake. You should not do that in the first place!"
"Look, Mutsu, I'm.."
"Do you even deem me as your wife?"
"You are my beloved one, Mutsu."
"Then why? Why do you keep visiting that Oryo girl? Are you fall for her now?"
"Mutsu, I just visiting a regular cabaret club, nothing else."
"So, what are you trying to say is, that's not a problem?"
"I'm just taking a little break."
"So that IS the problem! You sneak out, not telling anyone, not even me. Then you just have fun alone with earthling while me, here, taking care of your work! Look Tatsuma! It almost 3 years of our marriage, and you not even one-inch making distance from your old habit."
"Mutsu, I'm so sorry."
"I'm sure the vice-captain title more suit me than as your wife."
"Don't say like that, Mutsu."
"I'm hurt, Tatsuma! I love you, but I don't get that back from you. You know I'm Amanto, then why you marry me? We can't even have babies! Go search another girl and have a baby with them."
Mutsu goes inside her old room, then shut the door from Tatsuma. It is always like this every time they have argued. Mutsu will stay in her old room until they settle their problem down.

The next time Kaientai visit earth. Like she always does, asking everyone around do anyone saw Tatsuma. And obviously, the answer is no, no one saw him, he sneaking out again. It's really frustrating for Mutsu to have to look for her troublesome husband.
So, at night, after taking care of every task, she decides to look for him.
"A customer with red long coat and sunglasses? Do you mean Sakamoto-san? He doesn't come here today, ma'am," said a waiter from snack smile, a cabaret club that Tatsuma frequently visited.
Knowing that her husband isn't there tonight really makes a slight relief in her, but where else would he be now?
While walking across Kabuki district, her eye caught a host club, Takamagahara. Some of their hosts already approaching her while she had a little curious what is it like. So, without hesitation, she steps her foot in.
It is a whole different than Snack Smile, filled with handsome hosts. This place really made for a rich woman who likes to spoil their wealth for one night.
Suspicious at first, but as time goes, she enjoys every entertainment here. She drinks, babbling around with the host, drinks again, laughing, and drink again. Is this what Tatsuma feels while visiting a cabaret club? She begins to question herself.
"A customer with a big straw hat, is that the woman over there, sir?" a waiter then escorts the man that asked to him. A slight smile appears on his lips when he saw his wife really enjoy her night.
"So, are you enjoying your break, Mutsu?"
"Tatsuma darling!" drunk Mutsu approaches him and falls in his hug.
"Thanks for taking care of my wife, boys," said the man.
"My pleasure, sir, may your wife have a good time with us," replied one of the hosts.
"Then, it's time to leave."
"No, my feet won't move," Mutsu insist on moving her body.
"Then no other choice, I'll carry you home" one moment, she already carried like a bride in his hand. She really likes his sweet side like this.
While walking, she asks him where he has been this whole day.
"I'm looking for a gift. Today is our anniversary, remember?"
Realize that she completely forgot about this, she can only laugh. "It's the first time I forgot a big day, haha."
"Tatsuma, I really love you."
"So do I."
She kisses him passionately as her gift.
"Mutsu stop, we don't do it in public. We have our place on deck."
"I can't wait for it. I missed you."
"Patient dear, we almost there."
Nothing can compare to how they really love each other.
