The members of the official newspaper club are suddenly called together by Ricca. As they walk along the cherry blossom lined road without knowing why, Sakura appears before them. Kiyotaka and the others greet her with a smile, but Sakura tells them she's decided to leave the island and asks them to play with her today.
Kiyotaka finds himself bound together with his best friend Kousuke and surrounded by Elizabeth, Tomoe, Shiki, Ricca, and Charles in the student council's office. He still doesn't quite understand how he got there, but it seems they think he knows what Suginami and the Unofficial Newspaper Club are plotting.
The Newspaper club has learned that when Everlasting Cherry Tree bloomed for the second time, mysterious accidents, phenomenon, and people grew in frequency. They also learn that the person who knew the most about the cherry blossom was their former principal, Yoshino Sakura. When Kiyotaka sees the picture of “Yoshino Sakura”, he’s reminded of the mysterious “Sakura” he met the other day.
Kiyotaka is interviewing the town when he spots a strange girl on her own near the observation point. Later, Kiyotaka looks into past articles in the library only to find articles on accidents and incidents with unknown causes. Then he finds reports of a mysterious girl spotted on the scenes, but something about it seems off.
