==Plot==
Upon returning to the Tsutsukakushi estate, Youto and Tsukiko meet two unexpected visitors: Breasts Onee-san who is the representative of the Italian family, and Emi's father. The two of them both raise their hands and welcome them with a smile.
Youto is immediately wary, but the two of them would not exhibit any ill-intent. Instead, they came to offer an apology to Youto for past tensions. They bow deeply, and the onee-san promises that she'll try to talk to the Italian side of the family. Mr. Pollarola on the other hand, is here to offer gratitude to the Tsukasa, whom he is indebted to. He passionately narrates his past stories with the Cat God, displaying the full extent of his gratitude, without a hint of evil in his motives.
Apparently, he was struggling to find his way around this foreign country in search of the Tsutsukakushi household when he ran into Breasts Onee-san, who had the same destination. Noting Breasts Onee-san's resemblance to Emi from the future, Youto comes to the realization that this was how Emi's parents met.
Youto and Tsukiko enter the family's storehouse, in spite of Tsukasa's warnings of its curse. The atmosphere within is dark and ominous, causing Tsukiko to grow apprehensive. She suggests retreating and rethinking their strategy. Youto however ignores her concern, making a wish to summon the Cat God, fantasizing about a naked manifestation of it just like the statue.
His wish is granted, and a girl wearing a traditional kimono materializes in front of them, embodying the Cat God. She claims humans and gods are fundamentally different, accusing Youto of arrogance for setting foot in her domain. However, Youto is unfazed by its superiority. He closes the distance between them, forcing the Cat God to back up against the wall, and follows with a firm kiss. The Cat God ultimately breaks down in tears, her commanding demeanor crumbling.
After giving the Cat God some time to recover while he bantered with Tsukiko, Youto tries to talk to the Cat God again, but she shows resistance. In turn, Tsukiko apologizes for Youto's behavior and pleads for its cooperation. Though remaining guarded, the Cat God begins to answer their questions: She identifies herself as an ancestral spirit of the Tsutsukakushi family, claiming her purpose is to protect her descendants. She denies any involvement in the "curse" affecting the Tsutsukakushi family, stating that her role is solely to grant wishes by drawing something in and giving something away.
The Cat God insists that if a curse exists, it must have been the result of someone's wish, not her actions. This revelation confuses and disheartens Youto and Tsukiko, who begin to question their efforts and the validity of their assumptions about the curse's origin. The Cat God suggests them to recall who they heard about the curse from, but Youto and Tsukiko are unable to reach a concrete conclusion via their speculations.
Returning to the main house, they find the telephone ringing. Youto picks up the call which turns out to be from his mother, who is distressed and frustrated after her many calls didn't go through. She scolds him for his negligence of his sister, who is hospitalized. Youto internally acknowledges that he could've visited his sister today, having been to the exact hospital that she stayed at to visit Tsukasa. However, he simply did not want to see his sister, finding it annoying that everything was about her.
Youto remains silent as his mother questions him, when someone unexpected takes the receiver from him — Tsukasa. She gives a bothered greeting and hangs up, before placing her hand on Youto's head with a sigh, remarking on his bothersomeness. When asked why she is here, she simply answers "just because."
