The "Seven Mysteries" of the Strawberry Dorms are mentioned. Nagisa and Tamao start to investigate the first mystery, "The Girl of the Hallway," despite Nagisa's terrible fear of the supernatural.

Nagisa tries to find a club she would like to join, but she's not interested in any of them. Later, she discovers the Étoile's private greenhouse and helps out with the flowers and their delivery to the school events.

Nagisa falls into a state of depression and wonders if coming to Miator was a good idea, which prompts Tamao to recount just why Nagisa is so important to her. Meanwhile, Nagisa's first- and second-year friends, concerned over her mood, decide to band together to cheer her up. The episode ends with Tamao talking to a sleeping Nagisa, and confessing her love.

Tamao invites Nagisa to the Literature Club to introduce her to the school's clubs and organizations. Nagisa and Shizuma experience a few more chance encounters, with Shizuma flirting and attempting to kiss Nagisa. When Nagisa finds Shizuma with a young student, she retreats to the library, confused and puzzled.

Nagisa offers her favorite umbrella to Kagome but does not give her name. Later, Kagome gets help from Chikaru and her friends, and they start to try and find out who the anonymous gifter is. Meanwhile, Tamao tries desperately to fulfill her fantasy of walking under an umbrella together with Nagisa.

Yaya's incident with Hikari causes her to fear that she has lost Hikari forever. An effort by Nagisa and Tamao allows them a reconciliation--and another chance at being best friends forever.

Lilith lashes out at Eve for abandoning her for what seems to be tens of thousands of years and Eve tries to make it up to her. Lilith notices that Eve misses Hazuki, who seems not to have returned to the correct book-world.

The Étoile elections have started. Shizuma makes her final decision about her relationship with Nagisa when she tells Nagisa she loves her in the middle of the ceremony, and the two end up 'eloping' just before the announcement of the winner of the election. While Amane and Hikari go forward together as the new Étoiles, Shizuma and Nagisa finally embrace their love.

To counter Amane's plans of attending the Étoile election, Miyuki makes Tamao and Nagisa an offer not to be refused: enter the game together and repeat Miator's victorious history. Both Nagisa and Shizuma end up in an internal conflict as to how they truly feel. Tragedy strikes when Amane falls off her horse just as she is about to tell Hikari about her feelings.

Lilith foils the ninjas' attempts to steal the comb, while a charged up Hazuki rescues Princess Fuji. Lilith casually says that the presence of the comb means that Eve was in this world. Princess Fuji had actually given it to Hazuki. In flashback, Lilith accepts Mariel's soul from Gargantua in exchange for a world of his own. He still refuses her charms and resolves to find Eve, the source of eternal life.
