"On her way home during a downpour, Nanako passes by the local shrine and gives a fox her umbrella, coming home soaking wet. Nanako starts to worry when Yu starts coming home late day after day. To find out what he is up to, she decides to dress up as her favorite cartoon character, Magical Detective Loveline, and tries to follow him around. She loses track of Yu when Teddie interrupts her for some pastries on her first attempt. The next day, the rest of the group show up and decide to help her out, and after searching for Yu all day, they give up at sunset. The following day, after Nanako finally tracks Yu down, she and the gang surprisingly find him with three women of different ages at separate times during the day. On the day of the summer festival, Nanako is at the fairgrounds by herself as Dojima has to work late, feeling she will never solve the case. However, Naoto finds her and cheers her up, prompting her to go throughout the festival looking for Yu. Nanako eventually finds him, and they watch the fireworks together, with everyone Yu has met over the past weeks, thanking Yu for his help."

"Yu goes out to buy a new umbrella for Nanako, who claims that she lost it the night before, but he is not able to afford one. After passing by the local shrine, the fox from before approaches him holding an ema. He is suggested to tutor Shu Nakajima, while at the same time taking up another job at a local daycare. He stops Yuuta and Kaneko from fighting over the latter's toy robot, which breaks during the fight. When Yuuta's stepmother Eri Minami apologizes to Kaneko's mother, Yu takes the blame and offers to replace the expensive toy robot. Yuuta and Kaneko get into another fight a few days later after the former claims to have seen Magical Detective Loveline, unbeknownst it was Nanako dressed in disguise, Yu dresses up in Teddie's costume to quell the tension. When he goes home in the costume, he crosses paths with Nanako and his friends. Later, as he heads to the shrine, he finds Hisano Kuroda unconscious after a mugging, and accompanies her to the hospital where her attending nurse Sayoko Uehara flirts with Yu. Some days later after a tutoring session, Shu reveals that he dislikes going to school and has no friends. During an impromptu date Yu gets dragged into, Sayoko reveals her dismay that as a nurse, everyone she meets at work leaves as soon as they get better. Meeting with her, Eri reveals to Yu her stress at the strained relationship she has with Yuuta. Finding her, Kuroda says to Yu that she is tired of being reminded of her deceased husband and throws a decorative comb he gave her into the river. A large carp jumps out of the water with the comb stuck in its fins as soon as she leaves. Yu finds Eri, who has been badly hurt after stepping in the way of Yuuta getting hit by a purse during another fight. Yu calls Sayoko who walks him through the steps of getting Eri better. The next day, the local shrine has gotten an excess of donations, which the fox lets Yu use to buy a new umbrella for Nanako."

"As summer vacation ends and classes begin, the freshmen and sophomores go on a field trip a week later to Tatsumi Port Island. However, the hotel they will be staying in has been repurchased from a less-than-reputable organization. Teddie, waiting for the gang there, wants to score a date with Yukiko, which she agrees to do so during free time the following day with the rest of the group. While the girls enjoy the rotating waterbed in their room, the boys (minus Teddie and Yu) have a more turbulent experience with their waterbed. Yu catches up with Chie who is defending a young boy from thugs, later revealing to Yu that she wants to find meaning in her self-worth, of which is something he admires in her. The group reunites at a night club, seeing Naoto there, who joins them. As they all enjoy free food and drinks, unaware that they were served alcohol - Teddie, Rise, Yukiko and Yu supposedly get drunk and start acting out of character during a drinking game called "The King's Game". Naoto has a family history of being detectives that help the police and then requests that they reveal their involvement in the murders. Although Yukiko blurts out that they go into the TV to fight Shadows with their Personas, Naoto believes she is mocking the idea."
