[Synopsis]
Reirin (Keigetsu), suffering from a high fever, manipulates flames to call Keigetsu (Reirin) for help. Pained by the sight of Keigetsu, who barely manages to regain composure, Reirin proposes canceling the body swap, but is refused. Before the ceremony of the Zhongyuan Festival, Keigetsu (Reirin) gifts Riirii a garment she tailored for her. At that time, Riirii senses a slight discomfort at a certain word casually spoken by Keigetsu (Reirin).
