He finds a classified ad for a company which provides assistance for "departures" and goes for an interview. The company has just two people, a female clerk and the president, and the business of the company turns out to be a preparation of deceased bodies for funerals by wiping them clean and putting makeup on them. Nonetheless, Daigo joins the company as a trainee, attracted by a good salary, and gradually realizes the value of the job of an encoffinner.
