Ran goes out with Rui and Midori (against her previous wishes) and the three find a traveler's deity in a hidden path after Ran and Rui fall down a small embankment. Ran hears a voice from the statue, prompting the three to research the things he, Iratsuko Kashiwaba, talks about regarding the sakura of Onju. Iratsuko wants to meet a girl there, Iratsume. They go to the library and meet an old man who tells them the sakura of Onju is actually close to the library. The three leave and find the sakura of Onju's tree stump. After placing the statue down, Ran, Rui and Midori witness the reunion of Iratsuko and Iratsume.
