A Whale in the Sky. The Newspaper Carrier arrives in the fog and brings Akane a paper with magical community news. Makoto sees the magical newspaper and Akane remarks that Makoto should get one too. It's been a long time since she had news "from the other side." While reading the magical newspaper, Akane sees an article that a flying whale will be nearby. She takes Makoto and Chinatsu to see it. They fly up onto the whale for a ride and find Anzu Shiina already there. She is studying the ancient ruins built on the whale's back. They invite Anzu to their place for some breakfast. Kei makes hotcakes and they all enjoy breakfast with some congenial conversation.
