Family Meeting with the Princess Miyako demands Shiori return to the island, but after seeing Ichiro realises he is not quite the sleazy conman they assumed. They agree to a proper meeting in the morning. The meeting begins badly as Miyako is hypercritical and stubborn; leading to Shiori accidentally revealing Ichiro accidentally touched her stinger. Miyako is furious at their engagement, since Shiori is destined to be Queen and Ichiro clearly unsuitable for her, so Shiori angrily leaves. Ichiro follows, explaining his strained relationship with his own mother, which he does not want Shiori to experience with Miyako. They return and agree to annul their engagement. Miyako believes she has won and is thrilled, but when Shiori still insists on staying to continue her manga career Miyako threatens to stop supporting her financially. Ichiro stands up for Shiori and her potential as an artist, so Miyako agrees Shiori can stay a year, but she will be reducing her financial support to force Shiori to support herself. Her father Ken agrees to properly research annulling the engagement but hints Shiori can always create manga from their island, making Ichiro think. Once they leave Shiori is grateful she had Ichiro to help her. Machi and Fumio decide everything will work out if Ichiro just marries Shiori.
