Summary[]
At night, Miyo Takano sneaks into the Furude Shrine's ritual storehouse and obtains its ultimate treasure, the Magatama of Fuwarazu.
The next morning, Keiichi Maebara and Rena Ryuugu head to school. Keiichi senses a trap up ahead on the school grounds and starts tiptoeing around it. Rena thinks he'll be late. Keiichi safely makes it inside the building, only to hear class about to begin. He barges into the classroom to see Satoko Houjou sitting on her desk and laughing, as Keiichi's the only late student. Keiichi sees Rena got there ahead of him when she was supposed to be by his side, and Rena says she didn't want to bother him.
Satoko says every single trap was forged except for the bonus one. Rika Furude tells the confused Keiichi to look at the back of his head, and he pulls off a plunger arrow. Rumiko Chie then addresses Keiichi and says his tardiness has disturbed the class. Keiichi is made to stand outside the class holding water buckets as punishment.
At lunch, Mion Sonozaki gathers the club around. Hanyuu then arrives in class, with Rika and Satoko commenting on her lateness. Hanyuu says she lost track of time trying to remember something important. It was something she sealed away 200 years ago that is about to be unsealed. The club helps her remember it by asking questions, but Rika decides to use shock therapy by pulling out some spicy kimchi candy instead. Hanyuu tries to sneak away but it doesn't work.
The club walks home after school, with Hanyuu still unable to remember what the object was. Mion suggests it could be a marital weapon that makes people fall in love, and Hanyuu finally remembers. She explains that 200 years ago, a maiden in Hinamizawa fell in love with a traveler, but the other villagers treated him like an outsider and so they couldn't talk to each other. Oyashiro-sama made an announcement to the villagers, telling them to accept the outsider if he confessed his feelings within three days. The maiden prayed to the god for three days as well, and on the night of the third day, the Magatama of Fuwarazu appeared from heaven. The maiden gave the red magatama to her lover and he confessed his feelings to the villagers. The maiden and the man married and lived happily ever after.
The club is surprised to hear about Oyashiro-sama being this thoughtful. Rika asks what that story had to do with a marriage crisis, and Hanyuu says the magatama will be unsealed now that 200 years have passed. It can be used by someone evil, and so only a god should be allowed to use it. Takano suddenly appears and says this power is appropriate for a god-to-be like her, and she sticks the red magatama onto Hanyuu's neck. Hanyuu develops a blank stare as Takano wraps her arms around her and declares God has fallen into her hands.
