When Himeko strikes Chikane's chest with her sword, they share a tender moment in which their unpleasant past lives are revealed; Chikane pretended to want to kill Himeko to make amends. The Orochi are defeated; life returns to normal, but at a high price for the priestesses. Time is reversed to Himeko's birthday but everything is different in their lives such as Corona succeeding in the music industry, Reiko goes back to writing, Nekoko is a normal child, Tsubasa is still a fugitive while Miyuki continues her missionary work with the help of Girochi. Soma, meanwhile, asks Himeko out but she refuses his offer. Later, she and Makoto see her photo album with Chikane except she (Chikane) is erased from them. The series ends with Himeko stating that even though a lot of things may change, her feelings (for Chikane) never will. In the post-credits scene, an older Himeko is reunited with Chikane in the city with the promise of Ame no Murakumo that they will fall in love once more.
