(Act 13.0)
In Kazuma's room, Hiromi and Kazuma shared their domestic duties. Tsubasa remebered the scene. Kazuma said, "When I stay with you, I get myself together."

When I arrived home, no one waited for me. I knew the loneliness. In fact, I felt lonely as I stayed alone.


. 44. Act 15.0 "Koe no Mukou ni Mierumono (Things she can see beyond the voice)"

Arima called Yukino from Nagano prefecture. He trained himself with Kendo fencing club members of his school.
One morning, in the summer vacation, Mr. Asaba came to Yukino's house. First, he met Yukino's father. Hiroyuki got angry. The lady killer Asapin said to Hiroyuki, "Who are you?" It was a mistake. But Kano, Tsukino and Pero-pero found Asapin and became attached to him. The father was shocked. The letter "Kani (crab)" was printed on Kano's shirt. "Saru (monkey)" was on Tsukino's shirt. Of course, "Saru and Kani" was an old Japanese tale.
On the other hand, the letter "Musume Love² (I love daughters)²" was printed on Hiroyuki's father. Yukino and Miyako went to the entrance. Then Asaba said to Miyako, "How beautiful you are, Madam! I would have seen you before I met your good man."

Father Hiroyuki said to Yukino, "He looks obscene. Why do you invite that man?"
Yukino replied, "The kind boy kindly asked us to go out to a swimming pool. But you are enough unreasonable to go together."
Thereafter Asaba went upstairs with the three sisters.
Yukino said to two sisters, "Why do you became attached to him? Do you like him more than Arima?"
The sisters said, "Arima looks like an elder sister. Asaba looks like a pet."
The four took a nap. An adhesive plaster was applied on Asaba's left cheek. On this speech day, Asaba said to Arima, "I'll ask Yukino to go to a pool." Arima got angry and hit his cheek using his bag. But Asaba said, "I have not met Arima for a while. So I lose my apetite and dream of him every night."
He lives by himself. When his father moved from here because of his job, Asaba stayed behind. Asaba did not get along with his father. His father was serious. Therefore it was a hardship to stay with his father. Asaba began to study hard to part with his father. He passed the entrance examination. He could stay behind.
After he entered this high school, he met Arima. He was attracted to Arima's seriousness. He disliked his father's seriousness. But Asaba began to like Arima. When he liked Arima, he thought he was redeemed.
Yukino heard him.
She thought, "They are a boy who were forsaken by his father and a boy who forsook his father."

Miyazawa Family was scheduled to go to their grandfather's.

In the evening, Arima called Yukino.
Yukino said, "Arima, you're good at bearing. if you say nothing to me, I'll find nothing."
Arima said, "Thank you. I want to see you. Now I'm growing. I'm 172 cm tall."
Director Anno expressed the chaos in Arima's mind by rotating monochromatic photographs of an overpass over a railway.
What part of Arima do I know now? What part of Arima don't I know?
She became anxious when Arima did not stand by.

In the ending anime, a digest of that day's anime was broadcast.
In the preview, a real performance film by Maria Yamamoto and Yuki Watanabe was used.
