A Slight Fever with the Princess Having expressed their feelings, Ichiro and Shiori become awkward around each other. Ichiro, Chihiro, Machi and Fumio plan to visit their fathers grave; the children conspire to bring Shiori as well. Afterward they picnic in the park where Chihiro confirms they are dating. Seeing them mourn Shiori recalls the recent funeral of her grandmother, which by island tradition took place under the stars at night. The children return home with Chihiro but Ichiro visits the grave again to introduce Shiori as his girlfriend and hopes they will stay together forever, giving Shiori dreams of marriage. Shiori develops fever, causing Ichiro to wonder if Star-people need different treatment from humans. After making her food Shiori holds his hand until she falls asleep. Shiori recovers by morning and finds Ichiro accidentally fell asleep on her floor, meaning they shared a room all night. As he goes to leave Shiori is compelled to hug him for the first time. They are almost caught by Machi and Fumio, whom Ichiro distracts with breakfast, amusing Shiori.
