TÅya is cleaning the well in their backyard and offered a steam bun as he wished he would get closer to Haruna. The steam bun fell into the well, and just then Hakone, the guardian of the well, awakens and appears in front of him. At first he won't believe it, because she assumes the form of a little girl (he knows that a hot spring spirit is a beautiful adult woman), until he hears from her about his wish. And she wants more, in exchange for her keeping his wish a secret.
