Summary
Mizuha washes up. Once finished, she tells Fushi he can turn around now.

Fushi asks Mizuha what she's going to do from now on. She tells him she can't go to school since she'll probably be on the news tomorrow since her fingerprints are all over the crime scene. she then realizes she's gonna cause a big fuss again for the Occult Research Club.

Fushi is about to ask her why she killed her mother but he's quickly cut off when Mizuha asks how Fushi why he's living at Yuki's home. He explains that it's a coincidence and that he can go wherever he wants. He just chose their city because it seemed peaceful. Mizuha asks if running into her was a coincidence too but Fushi doesn't respond.

Fushi summons a meal for her and she's amazed that he's able to create anything he wants. As she eats, she asks if Fushi has a favorite food and he responds with meat. He goes on to explain his current obsession is bubble tea. He tells her the pearls reminds him of eggs he found in a swamp and figures it must've took forever to collect so many for the drink. Mizuha laughs and explains the pearls are hardened balls of starch. Fushi has no idea what starch is and comments how the world's so big that he's not surprised there's stuff he doesn't know about.

Fushi then asks why Mizuha killed her mother and she tells him that she doesn't know and that she can't remember anything. She explains she became disappointed with her mother after finding out the hair tie her mother gave her wasn't a treasured piece from her childhood. But in reality, it was just a cheap item from a nearby store. Fushi guesses that Mizuha was probably so important to her mother that her mother had to lie to her. Mizuha tells him that if someone is important to you, you wouldn't lie to them.

The two go to bed: Mizuha in her futon and Fushi on the floor facing away from her. Mizuha asks if Fushi's eyes are closed and then asks if he met her ancestors. She explains that she's a decent of Hayase and then asks what Hayase was like. Fushi hesitates and lies and says she was a good person. She questions him further on how Hayase was good and Fushi tells her that Hayase looked after him. She was strong and kind and helped a lot of people. As well, she had lots of family and friends around her. Mizuha calls him a liar and Fushi protests and sharply turns around saying he isn't lying. But Mizuha explains she meant that he lied about saying his eyes were closed. Fushi plops back down and says there's one unhappy girl in a supposedly peaceful world and that he can't sleep in peace until she does. Mizuha blushes and goes to sleep.
