Strange discrepancies with time continue for Keiichi and Belldandy, and Belldandy experiences dreams connected to the boy.
Summary
The boy asks Belldandy if she would sleep with her. Belldandy agrees, but she first takes him to the bath, saying that he should wash before going to bed. Both Keiichi and the boy panic at the idea, and the latter suggests that he'll take a bath in the morning instead. Belldandy agrees, on the condition that they'll have a bath in the morning!
Later, Keiichi sits by himself in the tea room thinking about the boy's request to sleep with Belldandy. He tells himself he shouldn't get angry about it right as he abruptly falls asleep, slumped over the table, possibly drugged by his drink. Meanwhile, neither Belldandy nor the boy can sleep, and Belldandy asks him what he remembers of her. He mentions that the two of them made a promise in the past, but that's a secret he wants to keep to himself. While Belldandy absolves to remember him for both their sakes, the boy asks if she can sleep in her futon. Belldandy lets him snuggle up with her and they both fall asleep, but Belldandy experiences a strange dream where she's holding someone's hand.
Belldandy wakes up and hears the clock ringing nine times, but upon rushing to Keiichi under the assumption they're late for work, Keiichi tells her it's 7:30 a.m. They notice that the boy has disappeared again and ride to work without him. Along the way, Belldandy falls asleep again and continues her dream from earlier, where she is told she has been "chosen" and must meet "him". Keiichi wakes Belldandy up when they arrive at Whirlwind and mentions that she was crying in her sleep, but Belldandy dismisses his concern. Inside they find Chihiro playing airsoft with the boy, and Chihiro isn't happy that they're late for work, pointing to the clock on the wall reading 10:20 a.m. Keiichi, however, shows the time on the TV which reads 9:50 a.m.
While Keiichi and Chihiro get to work in the shop and the boy plays video games, Belldandy gets dizzy and abruptly falls asleep while accounting and continues her dream again, this time coming up on a silhouetted person. The boy glances over at her and is pleased to know that she'll remember him soon, but he gets dizzy himself, alarmed that it's "already" happening, and falls asleep. Belldandy momentarily wakes up and looks at the boy before falling asleep again. She notes that the eyes of the person in her dream and the boy's eyes are the same.
