Episode Title:
A Witch's Robe and Different Ways to Spend the Day.
Episode Description:
Makoto finds her old witch's robes. They are very small, worn thin, and shredded by Chito. She decides to make some new robes. After getting directions to a fabric store from Aunt Nana, Makoto ventures out with Chito. They buy some cloth and return without getting lost. Makoto also makes a set of witch's robes with some red cloth for Chinatsu. Makoto won't let Chinatsu watch her sew, referencing "The Tale of the Grateful Crane." Chinatsu is extremely happy with the finished robe and shows it to her family. Later, a drunken Akane returns from the Hirasaki Neputa Festival. While Makoto and Akane are trying to locate a lost mandrake root, they find ground fish. They are like normal fish, except they live in the ground. The fish are gathering, because they love festivals. Akane gives them some of her sake. The fish drink greedily, change color, and float into the air. They begin to glow like festival lanterns. Makoto looks upon them in wonder and delight.
