Hanekawa, after finding out that Mayoi is a lost girl, tries to help out with her problem. Initially, Mayoi is unfriendly towards her, but Hanekawa easily manages to tame her, although she both scolds the two for hurting each other. Tsubasa then talks to Mayoi when she finally comes to. Upon finding out what Mayoi's surname is, Hanekawa appears to be familiar with the surname Hachikuji, although she finds out that she might be mistaking it for a similar-sounding surname. Tsubasa soon notices Mayoi and asks about her. According to her, she is also killing time like Araragi, and is doing her routine walks on Sunday as she is not comfortable staying at her house. Soon, Araragi is greeted by none other than Hanekawa, who just passed by. Of course, this is yet another hollow victory for Araragi, who had been victorious against an elementary school girl twice. Because of this, Araragi is forced to hit her so hard that she blacks out. Then, as Araragi reaches his hand towards Mayoi, the elementary school girl snaps at him, biting his fingers and refusing to let go of them. Mayoi discovers that although she can go to her mother's house any time, she always fails to find her mother's house. According to her, the "Tsunade" she mentioned earlier is the surname of her mother - and hers, until third grade, when she changed it to Hachikuji. Hitagi, using Araragi's bike, heads to Meme's place to personally ask about the oddity they encountered, while Araragi join Mayoi at the park.Īraragi takes the time to know more about Mayoi, and with some bribes, Mayoi manages to talk about her mother. Unable to reach their destination, Araragi, Hitagi and Mayoi go back to Namishiro Park. As a last resort, Senjougahara decides to use the GPS on her phone to determine their location.Īs the two become puzzled as to what is going on, Mayoi appears to be losing hope to getting to the address, which turns out to be where her mother lives. Araragi is shocked to find out that they have gone off-course twice, and he thinks that urban renewal is to blame for all of this. Soon, Hitagi asks Araragi for the address once again since she thinks that they have gone far off again. Araragi's question to Hitagi soon confirms it straight from her mouth, but Hitagi also points out that she only has difficulty in interacting with them, thus the hate. Mayoi tells him that she feels that Senjougahara hates her, and wants her dead. On the way back, Araragi notices that Mayoi appears to be afraid of Hitagi. Upon listening to the address, Senjougahara realizes that they might have gone too far, so they head back to retrace their steps. Hitagi soon asks Araragi to give the address to Mayoi's destination once again. Well, he did speak the tongue twister correctly, but Mayoi once again tries to be witty. Araragi tells her that he doesn't make the same mistake in names like she does, and Mayoi challenges him to say a tongue twister. The conversation of the two soon talks about Mayoi stuttering, and ending up saying "Arararagi-san". Meanwhile, Senjougahara continues to walk forward. Soon, their conversation shifts to what one should be doing on Mother's Day to a sloppy pun on "touring". Mayoi tells to Koyomi that there is someone named Tsunade where they are heading. Mayoi continues to reject Araragi's request to tell about it, but a 10,000-yen bill manages to persuade her instantly. After Araragi gets called incapable for not knowing such information, they head off again.Īraragi soon wonders what awaits them on the address they are heading to. Araragi wonders what PTA stands for, and Hitagi suddenly responds it stands for "parent-teacher association", but can also stand for "percutaneous transluminal angioplasty". However, Mayoi becomes too defensive, and even plans to tell the PTA on him. Koyomi finds it difficult to walk with Mayoi clinging to him too much and tells her to back off a little.
She soon decides to continue on their search for Hachikuji's address. Senjougahara puts the blame to urban renewal, but even she is amazed at how much one year has changed a lot in her old neighborhood. However, there is now a stretch of road occupying that space. of course, with Mayoi tailing behind Araragi.Ī short walk afterwards, Senjougahara stops and tells that where she stood is where her house was a long time ago before it was sold. According to him, there are lot of oddities that lead its victims astray, and a "lost cow" is distinct because it is also called a "lost snail."Īfter calling Meme, Araragi and Senjougahara go on their way. Meme explains through Araragi's phone the oddity they are currently facing.
