第一種接近遭遇 (Dai Isshu Sekkin Souguu, lit: First Direct Encounter) is the seventeenth chapter of the light novel series of The "Hentai" Prince and the Stony Cat.
==Plot==
Youto awakens in the school courtyard, where the surreal Italian-inspired transformations have disappeared. Youto notices that the statue of the Cat God is missing, both from the school and the Tsutsukakushi household storehouse. He wonders where the Cat God has gone, speculating about the "law of conservation of mass" and what might happen next.
Azusa has reverted to her usual self but still acts erratically due to lingering memories of recent events. Tsukiko declares that she has decided to go on an "adventure" to rediscover her honest feelings and expressions. Emi maintains her true, tsundere self, while Youto tries to learn more about Emi's personality and motivations, visiting her at the local church choir where she sings. Tsukushi begins calling Youto frequently, seeking advice on topics ranging from the track-and-field club to the upcoming culture festival, though strictly avoiding the topic of her entrance exam studies. She also mentions buying a mobile phone and specifically requests his younger brother's contact info.
As peaceful times pass, Youto is left contemplating the unsolved mysteries surrounding the Cat God, Italy, and his own past.
