The episode starts with keiichi and friends (without satoko and rika), checking the preparations of the festival. Everyone ask keiichi for help, since he is a grown up MAN, but he is quite embarassed.
Ooishi pops up, but in this chapter, the major "hate" of the villagers is much more visible, and Ooishi really sounds much more sarcastic and suspicious towards others.
he then leaves, and the mood is back to normal. cute scene between rika and rena ^^
but rika is still really gloomy at some times.
later on, Satoko and Rika buy some food... unfortunately, people stares coldly at satoko, and the butcher also ignore her. Rika then gets a bit angry, raises her voice, repeating what satoko asked : some meat. The butcher change his tone, but doesn't really look like apologizing to satoko.
Rika has a flashback how the Houjou were treated during the Dam War. basically, every villagers treated the Houjou as Traitors and they should die.
Rika is helpless and powerless, she can't stop the mob. Rika also tried to ask to Mion to stop this, but Mion is unable to fix the problem.
Back to the present, Satoko drops her purse, but no one flinch a movement. The women around start to pickup the coins when rika begins to do so.
At night, satoko is sleeping, while rika is once again under her "black rika mode", staring at the moon.
Next day, the group (minus keiichi) is encountering a Baseball match. But the oppenent are quite strong, especially Kameda, a Pincher of the national championship, Koushien.
Everything seem desperate, Mion get strike out.
Satoko has a plan, and ask help for keiichi, but tricked him.
Irie has hard time to delay the match pause. Satoko is able to interest the reporters with her great speech.
Keiichi is rushing like a madman, but he is wielding a iron club, which create a rather awkward situation
Keiichi finally take the batter slot, but he is unable to strike back kameda's balls.
Things are ugly, but satoko still think they have their chances, especially with her plan
Keiichi talks with Kameda, and ask him to let them win. of course, he doesn't want to, but keiichi found his weakness about his fetish of desserts.
Things get completely crazy, and Keiichi compare the desserts (cream, fruits etc) with gorgeous and pretty girls, and nail completely the point, Kameda is in wreck, being bursted with his sinful and hentai fetish and wants to die.
Keiichi punches him, telling to not proceed of course. Kameda then laments that he is a pervert... Keiichi confirm he is a pervert. but he makes his big speech and smile, assuring him that MEN ARE PERVERT and there is NOTHING wrong with this, he should be proud and enjoy what he likes.
Then keiichi finishes him off, by showing to kameda 2 desserts fest for the angel mort. Kameda finally accept his condition, completely touched.
Keiichi is delighted, and everything are set. he is counting on Kameda. The later then asks his name. Keiichi answers with his KOOL answer :
K
Kameda is completely reverring keiichi
Everyone cheer keiichi up, except rika who is again depressed and gloomy. Satoko asks her to do so as well. Rika then thinks it is okay and she should enjoy the "fun time" when she still can do...
At night, Satoko and Rika are home, and satoko begins to boats about her plan. Rika cuts herself, and satoko worries a lot about her.
Then satoko believes it is because of her that rika is depressed (because of the afternoon). Rika assures it isn't the case, she shouldn't worry about her and that she just screwed up a bit.
Later on the night, "black rika" says that in the end, nothing change and that fate cannot be undone.
A voice then argue with her, a bit embarassed and sad. Hanyuu on the way with "auauauau" ^^
Rika says that she will die again, like usual. It doesn't please hanyuu, but rika then says that argues what she can do.
Hanyuu is sad about what rika said, and believes that if she can withstand again, there will be a world when things will be right. but rika asks when. Hanyuu answers that she shouldn't give up, but rika then raises her voice, asking what will happen then?
Satoko wakes up, and sees rika alone, saying "i must wait and being killed again?"
Satoko asks who she was talking to. Rika replies they are only both alone, but under her Black Rika mode.
Satoko heard that someone will be killed, but ask who. Rika answers that it will be her, soon after the watanagashi festival. and that there is nothing they can do to prevent this fate.
Satoko suddenly wakes up, it is morning.
Rika is preparing the breakfast. Satoko then asks rika to confirm their discussion at night about her being killed around the festival. Rika assures her that it was only a dream.
Back at school, another game, where Satoko has obviously lay some traps. Keiichi and Rena are judging the situation, but Keiichi believes that the obvious "traps" are in fact decoy, and they should be sure. Keiichi yells that he discovered her pattern and rush at her. However, as soon as keiichi steps on a pile of hay, it is revealed that it is INDEED a trap, a pit trap to be accurate, filled with mud. Everyone laugh at keiichi, but suddenly, rika rush at satoko and fell also in an obvious pit trapp. Everyone are surprised that rika could fell for this kind of trap that only keiichi would.
Later then, satoko talks with everyone except Rika, and talks about what last night and her discussion of rika being killed. Everyone are surprised and wonder how it can be possible, especially that Rika would be protected by anyone, since she is the reincarnation of Oyashiro-sama. Then rika enters in the room and asks what they are doing. Satoko then directly asks her again to confirm what she has heard last night. Again, rika assures her that she didn't say this and this is problably satoko's dream.
Everyone are then relieved, and think that it was satoko's imagination, but she doesn't buy it at all.
Rika is then alone, outside where "old rena was in reunion", once again talking with nanyuu with her black rika mode.
Hanyuu wonders why she doesn't say the truth to satoko, but Rika doesn't want her to be involved, especially she is the target of various horrible things. Rika then says that she is alone and will die, because it is her fate.
At night, satoko wakes up again, and see "black rika" at the window, and think it was definitely not a dream.
Rika tells her that she can't do anything, and that they don't have the time to do anything...
