A Lull in the Sea

Five years later, the sea over Shioshishio is frozen and the surface enters into a continued winter. Chisaki pays a visit to Tsumugu's grandfather Isamu at the hospital before returning to meet Akari and her son, Akira.

Chisaki learns of Hikari's return but refrains from meeting him. Meanwhile, Hikari is still recovering from his hibernation when he meets some of his old friends and the fishermen association presents him with the same flag he used during the Ofunehiki.

Hikari starts back at Hama Junior High and is in the same class as Miuna and Sayu. He fits right in instantly, making the class laugh and has his old teacher back. But Miuna and Sayu can't help but feel that the situation is weird.

Akari tells Hikari and Miuna that she was informed of Kaname waking from hibernation. They hurry over and find that Kaname hasn't aged at all. Chisaki and Tsumugu also rush down to see him, but Kaname sees them together and doesn't know how to feel.

By following Miuna's directions, the three finally arrive at Shioshishio. Anxious about meeting Manaka once more, Hikari decides to return home and pay a visit to his father first, while Kaname leaves to check on his house as well.

After some examination, it is confirmed that although still asleep, Manaka is in good health and should wake up soon. Watching Miuna next to Hikari while talking with the uncounscious Manaka, Chisaki realizes that Miuna also likes him as well.

With no signs of Manaka awakening, Hikari keeps searching for Uroko with Kaname and Chisaki's help. Miuna is worried about Hikari and reprimands him when he reveals his intention to stop going to school, creating a divide between them.

Hikari and his friends are surprised with Manaka, who, just woken up, acting as if nothing changed, without a single Ena remains on her. Miuna is soaking her feet in the water at school since she mysteriously got Ena and feels hard at breathing.

Tsumugu is cursed with the curse fish on his arm. Everyone looks for Uroko-sama to find out what's going on with everyone in Shioshishio and what's going to happen on the surface.

Uroko-sama tells Hikari and Miuna that Manaka has lost the heart to fall in love with anyone. Hikari tries desperately to find a way to turn Manaka back to normal, and has a hard time facing her because of that.

Tsumugu reveals when his Ena awakened he felt the feelings of others around him and is certain Manaka's feelings were there. He wants to hold an Ofunehiki, using Manaka's stone in the Ojoshi doll to please the sea god and return Manaka's feelings to her.

During the festival, the group goes into the frozen sea and find Miuna and Manaka are connected through their feelings for Hikari. Miuna then tries to become the Ojoshi herself and calm the water god.

After Hikari offers his feelings to the Sea God, the Sacred Flame burns away the grave of Ojoshi, and he rescues Miuna. The Sea God realizes her feelings she had for a man on the surface, despite Ojoshi had also loved her, and life returns to Shishishio.
