==Plot==
Youto and Tsukushi meet up at Youto's house. Tsukushi makes a wager with Tsukiko as to whether or not Youto has ecchi magazines hidden underneath his bed, with Tsukushi wagering that he does not, and Tsukiko gaving an exact quantity as well as the titles, which she has gathered from the first time they visited. Naturally, there were indeed ecchi magazines, and Youto couldn't quite explain them away, even with his facade. So he runs away, then run back acting as his evil twin brother, angrily asking why his older brother invited people into "his" room. Anyway, now that they're settled in, they start looking through Youto's photo albums, of which there are plenty. Tsukushi has fun trying to pick out which ones are of Youto and which are of his evil twin.
Eventually, Tsukushi notices that she hasn't seen a picture of Ponta's younger sister. Youto tries to point out some pictures with Emi in them, but all they see is a rabbit. Youto finally remembers that Ponta doesn't have a younger sister, but he did have a rabbit that he treasured, even treated it as though it were his sister. He also finally remembers what Emi said under her breath when they first met; "For this moment to go smoothly, just for now." Going further into the album, they do find some pictures that include Emi herself, in the more recent past. According to Youto's memory, the three of them met thanks to Ponta's rabbit. She is part Italian, and a member of a church chorus. Youto didn't really feel that close to her, and remembers her being much closer to Ponta instead.
Tsukushi is confused by this news — if she is not related to the Tsutsukakushi family, how did she know about the Stony Cat? In any case, they've found enough information. Tsukushi warns Youto to be careful, as she also thinks Emi has a bad personality. So she departs, but not before asking for and receiving a couple of pictures of Youto. Youto has a dream that night, of a young boy and girl, who, as he puts it, are close enough that they're at a stage just before dating. He identifies them as Ponta and Emi. He sees them in various places, but then realizes that he doesn't know where he is in these events, or how he should have known about them.
The next morning, Ponta asks Youto to help him find his younger sister, his rabbit. He no longer remembers Emi being his younger sister. When asked about Emi, Ponta says he doesn't really remember her all that much, not even her face. Youto agrees to help and searches at the school, while Ponta takes the day off. Youto intends to make up with Azusa, who could probably help find the rabbit. So, Youto sneaks into Azusa's class. Azusa naturally runs away as soon as she sees him. He chases her, she takes a wrong turn in the maze-like interior of the new school, and runs into some net.
Conversing with the now-trapped Azusa, and Youto learns a number of things: Azusa felt she shouldn't get too close to Youto, so as not to interrupt him and Tsukushi, and she never received the letter Youto wrote. She admits she wished on the Stony Cat to become a new her. However, nothing changed, so she thinks the Stony Cat wasn't listening. Youto however, notices that Azusa's breasts have developed a little. To make up, Azusa asks him to gently shake her hand, citing a shoujo manga despite the real ending being a kiss. Youto then asks her to help find the rabbit, to which she agrees. She also notes that she's been training to speak to animals, and can talk with the neighborhood dogs about it. Lastly, they speak about Emi, and Azusa said she looked like a pure, cute girl. She believes that everyone else is overthinking — even if she may do some bad things, there's no such thing as a "bad child."
About lunchtime, they split up due to Azusa's prior engagements. Youto meets up with Emi, who wants to show him something interesting. They find Tsukiko singing along to a play she's practicing by herself. Of course, being unable to express any emotion, it sounds fairly flat. Emi steps in and sings a little herself, which is quite beautiful. She wonders why Tsukiko doesn't put any emotion into her singing, and starts playing with Tsukiko's face. Tsukiko is a little perturbed by this, and she and Emi start arguing about who is better at what. Eventually, they both claim that they're better than the other at sports, so Emi suggests they have a swimming contest to find out.
Both changing into swimsuits, they dive in as the race starts. Immediately, Emi changes from racing mode to fun mode and begins plays around. Tsukiko, on the other hand, is practically drowning. They reach the end at about the same time. Emi says she's had enough fun, and cancels her wish making everyone want to go to the pool. Naturally, this means that everything generated by the wish also disappears, including the swimsuits everyone's wearing. Tsukiko runs aways to change.
Now alone, Emi and Youto talk. Youto asks that, if she's satisfied with her other wishes, that she cancel them, too. Emi is surprised he knows about the wishes. Youto then reveals that he also knows that Emi was a member of the church choir. Emi, feeling that he has finally remembered the past, starts to talk happily, but Youto interrupts by saying that, although he remembers that much, he doesn't know what she's trying to do now. Shouldn't she want to play with someone else more? As a diversion, Emi grabs Youto and jumps into the pool. She then talks about how, when she was younger, she had an Onii-chan who promised to take her to the sports festival. To her, as a child, she treasured that memory, even if an adult might have forgotten it. For his part, Youto says he understands the importance of the backlog in eroge, so he's one to understand the importance of memories, too. Emi makes Youto promise to take her to the sports festival, saying that after that, she'll give up.
