Flag. 9.0 Absent Lovers.
Episode Description:
Chihiro and Keima head to the rooftop to continue their date. As they are about to kiss, Chihiro asks him to be gentle as this is her first time, which leads Keima to realize that Chihiro doesn't have a goddess as she does not remember her first kiss with him. Also, she confesses that she was in love with him long before her conquest. Chihiro asks him if he loves her and kisses him but Keima, knowing he must now conquer Ayumi, lies to her saying he doesn't and only dated her as revenge for making fun of him. A heartbroken Chihiro runs away where-after an angry Ayumi, who witnessed what Keima did, kicks him and leaves, later crying while her goddess scolds her for falling in love with him. At home, Keima gets depressed about what he did to Chihiro but is later cheered up by Tenri. The next day, the Mai High Festival begins and Keima learns from Elsie that the festival existed long before the Academy's founding after which Keima notices the Academy's emblem is a goddess. Seeing a connection, Keima heads to the theater where he discovers the entry and exit of the tunnel has been sealed. Keima and Elsie then head to the sea to Point Rock, while being watched by Akari Kurakawa, one of his past conquest and Nikaidō, his homeroom teacher. There, Keima and Elsie discover that inside Point Rock is a lair where Vintage are raising Weiss in eggs to be reborn. Despite what he uncovered, Keima decides not to intervene as it is not his battle and chooses to continue his conquest of Ayumi.
