While doing so, Keiichi remembers his previous dream about hacking his friends to death but shakes the memory away. Rika begins preparations for the upcoming Watanagashi Festival, exciting the other members of the club. Keiichi, Mion, and Rena run into Tomitake taking pictures. Keiichi expresses his doubts about Tomitake's true intentions, though Mion insists that Tomitake is simply trying to attract women.

On June 19, the night of the Watanagashi Festival, Keiichi and his friends spend time at the various festival booths. They meet up with Tomitake, who has to leave the festival early for unknown reasons. Shortly after, the club members watch Rika's ceremonial performance while Tomitake meets with Miyo Takano.
