Ep. 7: Rebuilding Ofunehiki and the Reunion of Shioshishio Feuding Parties
With friends' help, children restore the Ofunehiki, yet the festival is canceled due to tensions between Shioshishio fishermen and men. Hikari gathers petition signatures to revive the event but fails to persuade his father, Tomori, who eventually joins a reunion Hikari organized. The gathering quickly devolves into violence as old feuds resurface, a chaos intensified when Akari and Itaru arrive together, leading to the accidental destruction of the offering. Following this failure, Tomori urges Akari to end her relationship with Itaru. She remains resolute and prepares to depart from her home in Shioshishio. Hikari chooses to accompany her, prompting Uroko to use his powers to block their exit, until Tomori intervenes and allows them to leave.
