After calling Koyomi to lie to him about no longer seeing the white snakes from earlier, Nadeko reveals that she chose to cooperate with Kuchinawa, who wants Nadeko to help him locate his corpse. The next morning, Nadeko begins coming to school with Kuchinawa appearing as a scrunchie on her right arm, and Kuchinawa's endless rambling slowly bears down on Nadeko's patience. Despite this, Nadeko does not back down on her word, but prefers to do the search while maintaining her normal school attendance.
