Tae tries to encourage him by mentioning all the moments where regardless of the situation, Eikichi always managed to get ahead despite her aggressive attitude, working hard to take his sister's place in the group due to his love for her. Thanks to him, Tae feels more comfortable and is managing to change her way of doing things thanks to the fact that Eikichi's strength is to carry the feelings of those who are close to him behind his back.

Contrary to what she thought, Eikichi takes the message very badly and leaves the room in tears running away from the mansion. From his point of view, the group just wants to drag him into fighting like he's just a replaceable pawn. He just wants to hear a "We need you" from the group. Depressed and broken, he begins to question his place in Saga and search for a place where he belongs since he is not like Yuko who helped everyone, he just needs a place where he can feel that he is really needed.

Hours later, however, they both try to contact Hanako, since she apparently disappeared and doesn't answer the radio, so Tae and Eikichi are left alone on the top of the mountain while Anna goes looking for Hakase. With nothing else to do but wait, Eikichi realizes that it is the first time he is alone with Tae, as if it were his first time meeting her, so he decides to break the ice and talk to her casually, something that is difficult for him because Tae's attitude, but he finally succeeds. Tae, who has been in Saga all her life, barely knows Saga despite her years as Sagako Busters and traveling around the prefecture, but who is she besides being someone from Saga?

Inspired by Junko Konno, she wanted to make a group of idols together with Yuko as Junko did, since it would look very cool and cute, Eikcihi only bursts into laughter hearing something so absurd and that her sister also had the same dream, which earns him a beating from Tae.

With the information gathered from the disappearances, they both go to a place of great prosperity, a tourist spot. The chosen place is the Arita Porcelain Park, where Eikichi cross-dresses as a woman and pretends to be a woman so as not to endanger Tae. Despite being in a tourist place, no one appears besides a mysterious little girl. When Tae goes to warn her of the danger she is attacked by Magatsuhi and quickly Eikichi goes to save her from danger, although both are captured anyway.

Upon waking up, they both find themselves in a mysterious amusement park and find the missing women locked up, they tell them that Hanako and Anna were taken by that child, so Eikichi and Tae go looking for them through the park. They come to a statue of a squirrel where strange music seems to be coming from, upon entering they find children's toys in what appears to be a makeshift room and a photo of Tae's parents.
