==Plot==
The group wakes up from their nap after the picnic when the sun has begun to set. Tsukiko sneezes adorably, prompting Tsukasa to let her under her coat. Tsukushi becomes jealous, sparking a contest for Tsukasa's attention as they head home.
After they arrive home, Youto asks Tsukasa to open the door to the storehouse so he can talk to the Cat God. Tsukasa initially dismisses the idea, expressing skepticism of the Cat God's powers. Youto explains that his time travel was the result of its power and reveals that they are actually quite well acquainted, but Tsukasa maintains her stance, advising him to think of a different plan instead of relying on a suspicious god. Youto is forced to exploit her soft spot for children, begging her with a quivering voice, which proves effective as she gives in and tells him the key's location.
She eventually admits she knows about the Cat God, and has previously borrowed it's powers to help her husband's friend in need. Although it worked out well, she regretted relying on such a shortcut, leading her to lock the storehouse. Curious, Youto inquires who this friend was. However, the answer leaves him stunned — it was Mr. Pollarola, Emi's father. Tsukasa warns Youto of the Cat God's dangers and advises against going alone, saying she'll accompany him the next day.
As night falls, Youto looks for Tsukushi, intending to take her to the Cat God as well. Tsukiko mentions that Tsukushi is likely reading before bed, as she often does. She has been reading advanced texts, such as Great Learning and Doctrine of the Mean. Tsukiko admits to making Tsukushi read such books to her at bedtime, as part of her plan to reform her sister. She also mentions a "Taihei Public Records" which supposedly contains depictions of the Cat God bloodline. The name sounds familiar to Youto, but he dismisses the thought.
Finding Tsukushi asleep in the banquet hall next to her mother, Tsukiko teasingly pokes Tsukushi's cheek, remarking on how spoiled she is. Youto teases her in turn, saying that she sometimes can't sleep without him either. Flustered, Tsukiko tries to make up excuses for "last night," only realizing afterwards that she's just outed herself.
They sit down on the porch to discuss Mr. Pollarola, but Youto finds his memories failing him. Tsukiko assures him not to worry, revealing that she has continued writing her notes even after coming to this world. Inspired by the beautiful scenery, Youto suggests that all four of them go to the storehouse together the next day, confident that through love, they can save the world and bring their story to a Hollywood-style happy ending.
The chapter however ends with ominous foreshadowing: the promised tomorrow would never come — The following day, Tsukasa would leave with Tsukushi — and never be allowed to return to the Tsutsukakushi household.
