As Yoto's cancellation of his wish only took a partial effect at his school along with the cat statue's sudden disappearance, Azusa becomes madly in love with Yoto, much to Mai's annoyance. Checking up on Tsukushi, Tsukushi prompts both Yoto and Mai to make amends before she leaves for Italy but fails. Later, Yoto finds Tsukiko lamenting in his room as she hides inside Yoto's hug pillow but is later found out by Yoto himself. Tsukiko later leaves Yoto's room after realizing that Yoto met Emi long before she did, despite her earlier claims that she was the one who knew Yoto the longest. Yoto finds airline tickets to Rome and a letter sent by Tsukiko's grandparents. Meanwhile, as Yoto takes Emi for a stroll, Emi notices that something is troubling Yoto and tells him to sort it out. At the Tsutsukakushi residence, Yoto (disguised as his "evil twin") and Tsukushi talk about the latter's deceased parents and disapproval of going to Italy to live with their grandparents. Tsukushi intends to look for concrete evidence of her late mother and them living together through old photos, but ends out empty-handed. Tsukushi and Tsukiko then claim that they had met Yoto in the past and then search for evidence regarding it, but only find an unfocused picture of the sibling's late mother. While tagging along with Tsukiko, Azusa comes to intervene and has a pep talk with Yoto. Afterwards, Tsukiko expresses her jealousy towards Azusa to Yoto. Claiming that meeting Yoto the longest would give her the advantage, Tsukiko wishes to see the past herself, followed by Yoto. Suddenly, a rabbit possessed by the cat god grants their wish.
