Having been absent from the shrine at the time, Madoka is brought up to speed about the tug-of-war, and mistakenly believes it to have been a proposal to Hina. Koyori, also home from vacation, visits Madoka and, hearing of the tug-of-war from her, rushes away to find Kazuma. She finds him in the company of the others and confronts him about his apparent proposal, surprising everyone. After Kazuma explains the situation Daigo becomes convinced that Madoka must like Kazuma and recruits the help of the girls to orchestrate a date for them at an amusement park. The couple spends an enjoyable day there, so much so that Madoka invites Kazuma on a picnic the next morning. The following day, as the two of them get settled by the stream, Kazuma places Madoka's windblown hat back onto her head and realizes she is the girl from his childhood.
