• Oreki and Mai overheard Roswaal reprimanding Ram over the stained dress and learned that Sakura Troupe members had sent Emilia to buy drinks before spilling them on her costume.

• Oreki learned from Ms. Sakurajima that Yuki Morikawa had sung “White Album,” allowing him to identify White Album 1 as a newly integrated world, though the system marked it unimportant.

• Oreki learned that Reine Murasame's friend was named Takari and had died in Itomori Town.
• The system assigned Oreki a three-month hidden quest to go to Itomori Town and save Bailixiang, with loss of time-space travel as the penalty.

Oreki confirmed that Your Name was one of the fused worlds and used his new skill to take control of a puppet based on Mitsuha Miyamizu. He woke in Mitsuha’s body in the past, intending to use her connection to Reine Murasame’s friend’s suicide to address Reine’s emotional trouble.

• Oreki entered Your Name into the system quest, completed it, and received an Overtime Card and a skill that could max out one human technical skill.

• Oreki sensed Mitsuha lying beside a lake and discovered that his current body was a puppet projected from a clay figure modeled after her.

Oreki adjusted to living as Mitsuha in the Miyamizu household, learned more about the family’s estrangement from Mitsuha’s father, and walked toward school with Yotsuba. The chapter ended when Mitsuha’s friends Sayaka and Kawahara arrived and noticed Oreki acting strangely.

• Oreki sat with Grandma and Yotsuba for breakfast, hinting that he was a Tokyo boy whose memories felt blurred, and Grandma calmly accepted his behavior.

• Oreki tied Mitsuha’s hair into a ponytail and noticed that few people in Itomori seemed to have phones.
• After students mocked Mitsuha, Oreki used the campaign loudspeaker to praise her father and frighten the mockers with his status as the mayor’s child.

• Sayaka asked Oreki about Tokyo, and he described its high living costs and packed trains until she reconsidered leaving the countryside.

Oreki, disguised as Mitsuha in 2018, learned about an absent classical literature teacher and tried to find out how to contact Takari. He skipped ahead to art class, where he questioned the painter Sojiro about the prices his work had fetched.

• Sayaka told Oreki that the beautiful classical literature teacher Koyuki had been absent for two weeks after reportedly clashing with third-year girls.
• Oreki noted the year was 2018 and reasoned that Takari’s reported suicide was still a year away, then asked Teacher Ito to borrow a phone.
• After learning the school phone was broken, Oreki considered asking for leave to use the mayor’s office phone and realized Mitsuha’s father had invited Sojiro to teach art.
• Oreki decided he wanted to protect Yotsuba and Mitsuha from a self-sacrificing family life like the one he associated with Kiritsugu Emiya.
• In art class, Oreki judged Sojiro’s paintings and asked how much they sold for; Sojiro said his three sales that year ranged from 300,000 to 1.2 million yen.

Sojiro recognized Mitsuha Miyamizu’s painting as promising and sent her out to sketch, giving Oreki an excuse to seek information about Takari at the mayor’s office. Rain drove Oreki to shelter in a park pavilion, where he met a beautiful, unusual woman reading poetry.

• Sojiro graded the students’ paintings and selected Mitsuha Miyamizu for individual instruction because he saw potential in her work.
• Sojiro summoned Mitsuha Miyamizu and asked her to make a sketch, lending her supplies and telling her to return before school ended.
• Oreki left school with the drawing board, planning to use his sketching errand to visit the mayor’s office and learn about Takari.
• Rain forced Oreki to take shelter in a park pavilion, where he met a woman who offered him a tissue.
• Oreki noticed the woman was holding a collection of poems by Tsangyang Gyatso and read the verse on its open page.

Oreki discovered that the woman he had been searching for was Yukino Takari, whose future suicide could trigger a supernatural phenomenon in Reine Murasame. After receiving a hidden quest to hold Takari’s hand for ten minutes, he began using a painting as a way to earn her trust and create a chance to help her.

• Oreki borrowed Takari’s phone and recognized the contact name Reine Murasame, then learned that Takari was the woman he had been looking for.
• Oreki reasoned that preventing Takari’s suicide could stop the supernatural phenomenon that might affect Reine Murasame.
• The system gave Oreki a hidden quest to maintain contact with Takari’s hands for ten minutes, with a fifteen-minute time limit.
• Oreki decided to use an art project to make Takari comfortable and create an opportunity to hold her hand.
