Ep. 5: Akari and friends explore a hidden island cove after receiving mysterious invitations.
Aired on November 3, 2005

Akari travels to an Adriatic island following an anonymous invitation, where she meets Aika and Alice. They discover a secluded cove populated by Alicia, Akira, and the missing Athena. The group engages in morning training involving rowing unstable logs to improve balance. Afterward, they swim in the afternoon, an activity Akari cherishes because swimming is impossible in the oceans of Manhome. When Akari loses a hair ribbon, she recalls a childhood memory of losing a similar item. That night, she shares her childhood belief in Neverland with Alicia, who explains that important feelings are merely buried. Following this conversation, Akari retrieves her lost ribbon from the water.
