Lilys Bruder spielt sehr erfolgreich ein TCG, was auch das Interesse von Koyori auf sich zieht. Nur verliert so sie Tazuna aus den Augen. Und dieser hat zudem eine seltsame Begegnung …
During a trip around the city, Koyori and Tazuna get separated, and Tazuna goes around the whole city searching for her, fearing she will die. Koyori is confronted by the friendly Riri "Lily" Hojo, the student council president of Tazuna's school. She kindly takes Koyori with her to a card tournament, where she calls Tazuna but he does not pick up. Koyori spends the rest of the afternoon with Lily and her younger brother, Masaru, a mature young boy who is also a card game champion. The siblings play a few card games with her to pass the time, while Lily makes frequent attempts to call Tazuna. Meanwhile, he meets an odd man outside Makihara's lab, who knows a lot about Hand Shakers and Makihara. Frightened, Tazuna leaves hastily, and finally picks up Lily's call. Koyori and Tazuna finally reunite, but when Lily holds Masaru's hand, the world shifts to that of Ziggurat, and the siblings reveal their true identities as Hand Shakers and their Nimrods: two decks of shuffling cards, one pink and the other blue.
Koyori se perd sans Tazuna. Par chance, elle tombe sur Riri et son frère, qui lui apprennent à jouer à Precious Memories, un nouveau jeu de cartes qui fait fureur.
タヅナとコヨリはチヅルたちに誘われ、カクテルコーンの次世代店舗ショールームに訪れていた。
最新機器の数々に心躍らせるタヅナ。
それは店を出た後も変わらず、様々な考えを巡らせていた。
だがふいに、片手にいつもある感触がないことに気付く。
なんとタヅナはコヨリとはぐれてしまったのだった……!
Koyori finisce separata da Tazuna e, non avendo un cellulare, non ha modo di contattarlo. Fortunatamente, viene trovata dalla presidente Riri e da suo fratello minore Masaru, che la portano a giocare a un nuovo game, Precious Memories.
