Episode Title:
The Saltflake Snow Falls and Falls.
Episode Description:
Hikari is informed that according to Uroko-sama, the Sea God's power is weakening and thus the saltflake snow will keep falling and cooling the world until it freezes, possibly killing all humans on the surface. At some point the Sea God's powers will renew and the world will be restored to its former self. To avoid this fate, the people undersea will enter into hibernation and the villagers will gather for a banquet on Friday, entering into a fasting period after which the hibernation will begin. Believing that the only way to please the Sea God and prevent this catastrophe is to perform the Ofunehiki, Hikari convinces Uroko-sama to let him and his friends go to school until the time for their hibernation. During the banquet, Manaka is distraught upon the current situation and when she finally finds a sea slug with a red belly, she tells it her true feelings. The following day, Kaname confesses his true feelings to Chisaki.
