Plot
In the early morning at the Kurusu House, Kimihito and Centorea are amazed when they find a Pegasus girl sitting on their sofa. Centorea in particular is overwhelmed by the majestic aura, but at the same time wonders what the Pegasus is doing here. When the Pegasus girl notices the two, she apologizes rather formally for her intrusion, whereupon Kimihito asks who she is and what she wants. The Pegasus girl introduces herself as Pegasania and explains that she has come to meet a friend, whereupon Kimihito turns to Centorea and asks if Pegasania could mean her. Centorea denies this, however, because she does not know Pegasania, whereupon the Pegasus is amused to discover that her friend is quite forgetful and that she feels that she cannot remember her.

Confused, Centorea goes through all the possibilities where she could have met Pegasania, but comes to no conclusion. Pegasania says that it is not important that she does not remember, as it is the way of things to forget and remember things. Before Centorea can respond, she is enveloped by Pegasania's aura, where the Pegasus says that friendship is not seeketh for a reward, to which Centorea agrees, with Kimihito noticing that Centorea is trapped in some aura again and sees something he does not see. Pegasania then asks if they want to go for a walk, whereupon Centorea says it would be a honour for her to accompany Pegasania and that she knows the grounds pretty well. Pegasania accepts the offer even if she notes that Centorea doesn't have to be so formal. But when she asks again of Centorea's name, Kimihito thinks to herself why Pegasania doesn't know Centorea's name, when she is supposedly friends with her.

At the park, Pegasania complimented the popsicle belonging to a vender after tasting it but he humbly replied that he didn't need such praises at all. She then told he that his job is important because it brings joy to the world before leaving without paying and as he was thanking her, Kimihito paid for it. Centorea who volunteered to be her guide had been witnessing the whole conversation, started admiring the latter for treating commoners with respect. She suddenly heard camera clicks which belong to those of papparazi who were secretly photographing her charge from behind a tree whom she shooed them away angrily before catching up. She felt that they had no right to take pictures of Pegasania just because she was of noble blood but Kimihito theorized that they were only doing so because she looks extremely erotic in that skimpy outfit of hers.

As they continued strolling, they met some boys with yoyo balloons and by that time, the pegasus was finished with her ice candy. When they asked her whether she wanted to play with them, the latter's centaur guide shooed them off as she had done with the papparazi. Pegasania insisted that she wanted to join in the fun, assuming that they were just innocent kids who wanted to bond with her. They gave her their yoyo balloons which the puzzled pegasus was told to hold them. Immediately they told their accomplice hiding in the bushes who was a kid as well, to shoot them after they were in her hands which resulted in water being splashed on Pegasania's clothes and laughed about how she fell into their trap.

The enraged Centorea started berating the kids for humilating the noble pegasus but Pegasania told her that there was no need to do so and understood why they played this dirty trick on her. The noble pegasus then started stripping off her garment to everyone's shock and told the boys to stare at her nipples since they were the ones who wanted to. At this point, they were having second doubts in doing so but she explained that there was no reason for them to be embarrassed or sinful about it as the temptation to do so is considered normal neither was it for her to become a nudist just because she wanted every part of her birthday suit to be admired by others.

The naked pegasus then explained to her former offenders that it made no sense playing while wearing wet clothings and it was way better to do it au naturel. She later saw a splash fountain behind her which she suggested that they played with her within the vicinity before turning towards the papparazi who have been taking sexy pictures of her all long and invited them as well. Centorea saw how well her pegasus charge changed the mindsets of everyone around her and decided to join the latter in her aquatic nudism. When she was finished with unbuttoning her blouse, Kimihito told her to stop as there was something amiss about Pegasania which she failed to see. At this time, Papi made her appearance. She and Pegasania appeared to well acquainted much to the shock of Centorea. Papi was annoyed with Pegasania because the latter did not wait for her at Kimihito's house.

Later that night when Pegasania was dressed back at the Kurusu residence, both Kimihito and Centorea questioned her whether was Papi the dear friend she has been referring to all along, as well as how they met. The forgetful pegasus confirmed that it was true but wasn't sure when, giving the possibilities from bumping into the harpy in midair when she was sleeping, a chance encounter in a garden as she was smelling flowers, building a sandcastle in a playground to praticing adamitism in a river. In the end, Kimihito told Centorea the pegasus whom she originally worshipped was actually no different from Papi at a closer inspection which the latter went into a breakdown when she realized that she had been wrong about Pegasania all along. The chapter concluded by showing how similar Pegasania and Papi were in the hobbies they did.
