The trio walk around, looking at stores, and getting taiyaki before coming to a claw-machine game. When Lala wants to get a stuffed rabbit doll, Rito uses his skills at claw-machines to win it for her. Lala is very grateful, telling Rito she is going to make the doll her treasure. At first, Rito is upset that he enjoyed himself, but realizes its alright when he sees how happy Lala is. Afterwards, Lala wants to go to an aquarium, but her clothes start to disintegrate because Peke is running out of power. Rito grabs Lala and starts to run, trying to find a place to hide. They eventually take shelter in a lingerie store. While there, the three run into Haruna.
