There is a man named Takeo. He is 39 years old and works as a civil servant at a municipal office in the northern Kanto region. His wife, Maiko, is 34, and they have been married for six years. They do not yet have children. Maiko used to work in another department at the same municipal office, but after she started dating Takeo, they dated for two years before deciding to marry. After their marriage, Maiko resigned from the office and became a full-time housewife to support the household. About two months after that, Takeo decided to visit Maiko's parents' home to discuss a new work opportunity. This is the story of what happened during that visit.
