Miaka has made it back to the real world, but to her surprise, Yui is nowhere to be seen! After discovering that only two hours have passed since she came to the library, Miaka returns home, but predictably no one believes her story about the Universe of the Four Gods, and her brother even warns her to stay away from the book in future! Despite his warning, however, Miaka begins to suspect that Yui must have been drawn into the book when she was sent home, and resolves to return to the Universe of the Four Gods in order to find her friend.
Miaka ha vuelto a casa, y descubre sorprendida que han pasado apenas dos horas. Pero el problema es que no encuentra a Yui. Ya en su casa, le explica a su hermano todo lo sucedido, que la cree, pero le advierte que tenga cuidado con el libro. Dándole vueltas al asunto, Miaka cree que lo que le ha pasado a Yui es que ha sido absorbida por el libro cuando ella ha salido, y decide rescatarla.
