Kendama, Popping Fortune-Telling Chocolate, and...Kokonotsu, Tō, Hotaru and Saya sit out a typhoon in the powerless shop while Tō tells scary stories which frighten Saya but leaves Kokonotsu with questions about the inconsistencies in their plots. Hotaru offers an explanation; Tō is retelling stories from packages of Super Scary Story Gum that are entirely fictional. Regardless, they still frighten Saya. Later, after receiving inspiration from a YouTube video, Tō buys a pair of kendama for him and Kokonotsu to try to master. After failing repeatedly, Saya shows up and effortlessly juggles the ball while also revealing that Tō already had a few kendama back home, solidifying his ineptitude with the toy. After finding Tō near an embankment and a short discussion about popularity, he introduces Kokonotsu to Popping Fortune-Telling Chocolate. The dagashi manages to perfectly predict Tō's good health and the fact that neither of the boys have started their summer homework. After popping the "Wish" chocolate and wishing to see a panchira, Hotaru shows up looking for Kokonotsu. After agreeing to meet up at the shop later, Hotaru leaps off the ledge she was standing on, offering the boys an incidental glimpse. The three coincidences leave them astonished.
