At night, Taichi returns to the girls and they're having dinner. Taichi looks at the menu. Hanayo cries between Umi and Kotori. "What happen?" asked Maki. Hanayo still crying. "Nico-chan, did you do something to Kayo-chin?" asked Rin. "I don't know," said Nico. "What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?" asked Nozomi. "Homesick?" asked Eli. "I think it has to do with white rice," said Taichi. "Yes, ever since we came here, breakfast, lunch, dinner, it always bread bread bread. There is no white rice," said Hanayo. Taichi chuckles. "But we added some rice to yesterday's meal..." trailed Umi. "White rice is not an "addition", it 's a staple food!" exclaimed Hanayo. Taichi sighs. "And that was saffron rice, which isn't the same," said Hanayo. "Well, risotto also some type of the rice," said Taichi. "Every good dish start with rice. It is because of rice that we can even call a meal," said Hanayo. "Western people eat bread most of the time for breakfast, lunch and dinner. They don't use rice much," said Taichi. "I want to eat white rice in a warm rice bowl," whined Hanayo. The dark brown haired stands up. "Where are you going?" asked Eli. "I know a place that serve rice in rice bowl," said Taichi as Hanayo looks up towards him. "Really?" asked Hanayo.

Few hours later, Taichi and the girls walk out from Asian restaurant. "I can't believe this city had this kind of restaurant," said Honoka. "It is the center of the world," said Maki. "Yeah, you can find almost anything here," said Taichi. Hanayo walks in smiley and rubbing her stomach. "Alright, let's go back before it's too late," said Eli. "Good idea," said Taichi as they head towards the station. "It feels like we're walking back from school," said Honoka. "That's true," said Eli. "It's an odd feeling," said Maki. "Althrough we don't have much time together," said Eli. 

At the station, the girls manage to at the platform except Honoka that stuck in the ticket scanner. Taichi looks up and sees the girls rush towards the platform. "Try again, Honoka," said Taichi. The ginger haired tries again and she success. Taichi follows after her. They arrive and see the train moves out from the station with the girls in it. He sighs. "I am going to have a little talk with that blunette after this," muttered Taichi, angrily. "What do I do?" asked Honoka. "Calm down, Honoka. We will find a way to come back," said Taichi. 

Both of them walk out from the station. "I think we end up in wrong station," said Taichi. Honoka cries. The dark brown haired pats the ginger haired. "Don't worry, the hotel is around 500 meters. We'll head there," said Taichi. As they walk along the road. "Tai, what happen to your idol group?" asked Honoka. "Well, a lot of things happenned. In the end, we split up and follow our own way. I do perform solo a few times but them I just stop and focus on what is more important," said Taichi. Honoka just keeps quiet. "Just a question, Honoka," said Taichi as the ginger haired looks at him. "What is the reason why Muse sang in the first place?" asked Taichi. "Reason why we sing?" asked Honoka. "Yeah. To me, the answer was easy," said Taichi. "I sort of get it...but not really," said Honoka. "That's fine for now," said Taichi. "It is?" asked Honoka. "You will understand soon," said Taichi. 

"Honoka!" Taichi and Honoka look at Kotori, Umi, Rin, Eli and Maki that stand on the hotel. "Girls!" yelled Honoka as she run towards the girls follow by Taichi. "What were you thinking?" asked Umi, angry. Honoka stops on the track as Taichi narrows his eyes. "Umi-chan," said Honoka. "Do you know how hard we looked for you?" asked Umi, angry.  "Oh really?" Umi looks at Taichi. "Tell me, Umi. At the station, did you do the head count before boarding the train or just rush into the train because you don't want to miss it?" asked Taichi, angry. Umi swallows her salvia. Eli sighs. "Tai loves teasing his friends but when he's angry, you won't like it," said Eli. "And you dare to say that you looked for her hard? I beg to differ," said Taichi. The blunette cries as the dark brown haired still glares towards her. "Calm down honey," said Eli. "Before you scold her for her fault, try to figure why it happens in the first place," scolds Taichi, angry before walk away. "Where are you going?" asked Maki. "A walk. I don't want to deal with that paranoid archer who only think for herself," said Taichi as he walks away. Umi still crying on the floor as Kotori and Honoka hug her.
