Later on, Yasuna excitedly meets up with Sonya, a seemingly emotionless assassin, and Agiri, a ninja with a playful personality.

Next, the girls visit a nearby kite shop. Yasuna, still influenced by her dream, gets the idea to make a kite out of rice cakes, much to Sonya and Agiri's confusion. Yasuna's energetic enthusiasm quickly turns into frustration, though, as her attempts to create a successful rice cake kite fail miserably. Sonya and Agiri, trying to help their friend, offer some unconventional advice, leading to even more comedic mishaps.

Following their failed escapade at the kite shop, the trio decides to participate in a traditional Japanese card game called Karuta.

Despite her voracious appetite and clumsy eating habits, Yasuna's love for food is infectious, and both Sonya and Agiri find themselves enjoying the festival as well.

Towards the end of the episode, the trio finds themselves at a fortune-telling booth. Yasuna, intrigued by the idea of discovering what the future holds, eagerly steps forward to have her fortune read.
