As the weather begins to warm up, Ren helps Yuzu pick out her very first kimono. For Yuzu, who has never owned any clothing that nice and has only received hand-me-downs from other villagers, this is an exciting and momentous occasion! But her old clothes still contain a lot of precious memories... Does she really have to give those up? In the meantime, while the Great Spirits are away for a meeting in Izumo, the new shrine maidens are left in charge to protect the shrine in their absence. Ren's little sister Momo is among them, cheerfully oblivious as always. Her absentminded attitude is always getting her into trouble, but she still has the best of intentions... her peers just need to get to know her a bit better to understand her unique point of view.

Nachdem Yuzu das Konohanatei verlassen hat, müssen Kiri und Satsuki sich allein um die Gäste kümmern. Dabei haben die beiden sich so sehr an Yuzus Hilfe gewöhnt, dass sie das Arbeitspensum ohne die erfahrene Geisha Yae kaum bewältigen können. Auch Momos Schwester Azusa hat es als angehende Miko nicht leicht, denn ihre Vorgesetzten nehmen sie von allen besonders hart ran.
Yuzu und Satsuki reisen mit der Takamagahara-Eisenbahn durch die Wolken. Der Schaffner erklärt, dass die Dampflok überallhin fährt, solang man mit einer klaren Absicht an den Ort gelangen möchte. Auf ihrer Reise erwarten sie viele Begegnungen. Sie treffen eine alte Dame, die zu ihrem lange verschollenen Mann reist, und Honoka, die ihren Weg nach Hause nicht mehr findet.
