Returning to the shrine and thus absent from the event, Madoka is brought up to speed about the tug-of-war, sullenly mistaking it to be a proposal to Hina. Koyori, home from vacation, visits her upset friend to the apparent news, rushing to find Kazuma in the company of the others. Following a brief shock from everyone, Kazuma straightens out the story. Daigo is more than convinced that Madoka must like Kazuma, recruiting the help of the girls to orchestrate a date for them at an amusement park. The couple spend an enjoyable day there, so much that Madoka invites Kazuma on a picnic the next morning. As the two get settled by the stream, placing her windblown hat back onto her head, Kazuma realizes she is the girl from his childhood.

Al regresar al santuario y, por lo tanto, ausente del evento, Madoka se pone al día sobre el tira y afloja, confundiéndolo hoscamente con una propuesta para Hina. Koyori, que ha regresado de vacaciones, visita a su molesta amiga ante la aparente noticia y se apresura a encontrar a Kazuma en compañía de los demás.
