Continuing from last book, this volume gives more insight into Shia. She always seemed to be a strange character from the get-go dressed in black and all and having that cat. Now it seems as though there is some evilness that surrounds her, or at the very least, it seems as though she's the opposite of Misha who is now revealed as an angel (as if it wasn't obvious already).

First color page has an illustration of Misha and Sasha. There's also a short letter from the author right before chapter 31.

26. 天使の羽の使い方 (How to Use Angel's Wings): Shia is going to be late, so Misha tries cooking curry for Kotaro. She sets the kitchen on fire and Misha's sister, Sasha is the one who uses angelic powers to put out the flames. She introduces herself and explains that she's a fully licensed angel, unlike Sasha who's an angel in training.

27. お弁当の作り方 (How to Make Lunch): The next day, something catches Shia's eye which makes her remember. During school, Kotaro and Ten get in a slight argument over Shia. That afternoon at the restaurant where Shia and Ten works, Shia unexpectedly gives Kotaro a kiss and departs, leaving the job and the apartment.

28. 寂しさの見つけ方 (How to Look for Loneliness): After the kiss, Kotaro falls into a coma. Misha tries to wake him, but fails. At school and at work, Shia no longer shows up. Ten tries to find her and eventually meets her. She tells him "farewell."

29. 帰るところの見つけ方 (How to Look for The Place I'll Return To): In Kotaro's slumber, he meets a strange girl who is somehow related to him and she shows him an apple tree before he finally wakes. When he does, he remembers his great-grandfather's house in the countryside where there's an apple tree. No sooner does he remember this does he get a call informing him about this great-grampa.

30. 田舎への帰り方 (How to Return to the Countryside): Kotaro leaves for the countryside, leaving Misha at home. There, he unexpectedly finds a picture of Shia. He looks out the window and sees Shia's cat, so he runs out. He sees a strange boy out there and also sees Shia. Meanwhile, Misha is worried about Kotaro, so she transports to where he is. And just in time too as that strange boy is about to attack Kotaro. She sends him through some dimensional warp.

31. 見知らぬ時間ののぞき方 (How to Peek at A Strange Time): Kotaro witnesses an event that seems to have happened in the past with a girl, 志麻 (Shima), and a boy who looks like Kotaro, named 太郎 (Taro). Shima says that she brings sorrow to everyone around her, but Taro still wants to be her friend.
