When her relatives betray her over Monet's "Water Lilies," Naho is emboldened by the calligrapher Takano Sen (Kaji Meiko), an acquaintance of her late grandfather, who has given her a new home, and a new painting by Tree. With determination, Naho unveils the painting in an unexpected way, and begins to confront Teruyama's evil intentions that bind her to the tree in earnest. On the other hand, Kazuki, who is heartbroken by the separation from Naho, receives harsh news from Naho's parents regarding the management of the museum. The news could send Naho into despair once again.
