The giant monster turns out to be Hayato's Nanaki, complete with a tiny birdcage on top for entrapping Mitsumune's own Nanaki. Hayato attacks the group and captures Mitsumune, but Mitsumune manages to talk him down. However, Koharun riles Hayato up by playing on his insecurities again, causing his Nanaki to rage out of control. While the group tries to run back to the village, Koharun chats with Kamiyama on a two-way radio. She turns out to be his daughter, looking for a way to revive his Nanaki to stop his rapid aging by creating a super-powerful Nanaki with the bus tour, though Kamiyama asks her to leave him be. Meanwhile, Hayato decides to face his Nanaki head-on and both of them disappear. Reiji appears at the village to fill in the rest of the bus tour group on the truth about Nanaki. Mitsumune goes back to rescue Masaki and both of them come to terms with their respective Nanaki, which also leads to Masaki realizing that Reiji was an imaginary friend she could never let go. With Mitsumune's help, both of their Nanaki disappear inside them. Back at the village, the members of the bus tour decide to split up between those who wish to return, and those who wish to stay in the village. The leaving party finds themselves back on the bus with the bus driver at the wheel, as he drives them back home.
