Honoka, a plain and introverted temporary worker played by Rina Ikoma, pursues the truth of mysterious incidents that occur at the company at the same time as Nozomi, a mysterious beauty played by Yurika Nakamura, joins the company. This is an entertainment drama, and up to the third episode is being distributed exclusively on DMM TV. New episodes will be added every Thursday at 24:30.
In the third episode, which began streaming on May 2nd, a murder case finally occurs in the company after a series of incidents that appear to be “execution” of power harassing employees. Honoka (Rina Ikoma) is depressed, and although she is suspicious of the series of incidents that have occurred since Nozomi (Yurika Nakamura) joined the company, Soejima (Kenta Izuka) hints that she wants to believe in her friend with whom she has a heart-to-heart. He decides to investigate the “incident from five years ago”. Then, it was discovered that there was an employee who suddenly disappeared five years ago, and it was also discovered that there was no such person as “Nozomi Fukase.” Due to the series of unpredictable developments, viewers posted a series of posts on social media, such as “Who is Nozomi Fukase?” and “I’m curious about her background.”
It has been announced that Asuka Kawazu will be playing the role of an important person in the “incident from five years ago” that holds the key to a series of mysterious “executions”. She gained popularity for her role as the heroine in “Kamen Rider Saber” (TV Asahi), “Kimi no Hana Naru” (TBS), “Sugar Sugar Honey” (Tokyo MX), and “Black Girls Talk” (TV Tokyo). Kawazu has appeared in popular works one after another. In this work, she will play the role of Saki Shiraishi, a mysterious employee who suddenly disappeared due to an incident five years ago. According to her colleague Urara Hayakawa (Kyoka Mizukami), Saki was a “simple child who didn’t socialize with other people,” but one day, at the same time as Eiko Minegishi (Yuka Suzuki), she was fired from her company without any prior notice. It is said that it has disappeared, and the reason is still unknown. What is the truth behind the “incident from five years ago” and what is its connection to the frequent “executions” that occurred at the same time as Nozomi’s joining the company?
Regarding his appearance in this work, Kawazu expressed his
enthusiasm, saying, “I felt it was a challenging role, both in terms of acting and as a social satire.” Regarding the broadcast of the fourth episode, which is about to rapidly develop, Kawazu said, “Because of Saki’s presence, I would like you to see the people around you change and how you are forced into it.” He expressed his expectations. Finally, he sent a message to the viewers, saying, “Please take a look at how the life of a woman named Saki Shiraishi changes through betrayal and constraints in various societies, and the story behind Saki!”

Saki’s thoughts about the company, her positive passion for the future, and her hard work are central to my acting. I feel that behind all of Saki’s actions is a vision for the future and the ability to see things three-dimensionally, and I feel that her single-mindedness and energy to endure hardships are an expression of her expectations for her future self. I acted as I wanted. I would like you to see the surroundings change due to Saki’s presence, and how she is forced into a corner. Please take a look at how the life of a woman named Saki Shiraishi changes through betrayal and constraints in various societies.

Furthermore, it was discovered that Nozomi (Yurika Nakamura) had lied about everything including her name and background. Who on earth is Nozomi? what are you trying to do? Honoka (Rina Ikoma)’s head is confused. At that time, Soejima (Kenta Inozuka) reveals a shocking fact. Of the two female employees who disappeared five years ago, one is now deceased. Soejima goes on to warn us that if we try to find out more about the truth, even Hono will be in danger. Soejima’s warning will soon become reality. Someone broke into Honoka’s home while she was away, and her room was trashed. Just as Honoka is frightened, she receives a creepy phone call threatening to kill her next time… At the same time, Nozomi approaches Kurosaki (Umifumi Iwao), who is visiting Yano (Miku Kawamura) in his hospital room, where he remains in a coma. He approaches Kurosaki with an unexpected “request.” Meanwhile, detective Aota (Ken Naya), who is pursuing the case, discovers the whereabouts of a “certain woman” who holds the key to “an incident from five years ago.”
