This volume focuses mostly on Kotaro and Shia's past with Kotaro visiting scenes from his grandfather's life and finds out how it ties in with Misha, Shia's, and his life. Quite a moving segment of the story.

There's a quite lovely first color page and a letter from the author.

Note to self: Remember the kanji, not the pronunciations to names. Otherwise you'll get your self terribly confused.

32. 見知らぬ時間ののぞき方　その二 (How to Peek at A Strange Time, Part 2): Kotaro is still in that strange time where he's seeing a boy, Taro and Shima. While Taro and Shima becomes good friends, strange things happen like sparrows dying after being handled by Shima. Shima's family's house (she's adopted) gets destroyed. Kotaro comes to the conclusion that Taro is his great-grandfather.

She does so and takes him to when Taro was a college student in Tokyo.

34. 探し物の見つけ方　その二 (How to Find What You're Looking For, Part 2): Taro bumps into Shima again. While he's grown, Shima is still looks like a child. Even though Taro has a girlfriend, eventually he chooses Shima. A big earthquake happens.

35. 探し物の見つけ方　その三 (How to Find What You're Looking For, Part 3): While trying to rescue Shima inside a collapsed building, Taro himself gets trapped. Shima uses her powers as the devil to save him. Some time passes and now they have two kids, 小太郎　(Kotaro) and 志乃 (Shino) (different spelling that current day Kotaro and Shino). At the end, Kotaro flashes to darkness and then to a lake with another mysterious boy.

36. 探し物の見つけ方　その四 (How to Find What You're Looking For, Part 4): That boy is Kotaro (grandfather), and for some reason, he can see the visiting-through-time Kotaro. It is there that Kotaro (grandfather) first sees Misha and befriends her.
