Koyomi and Shinobu visit the Araragi Residence as he asks Shinobu about how to return to the present time after being brought back eleven years into the past. After some hesitation, Shinobu eventually admits that using the energies from the Kita-Shirahebi Shrine is impossible since the vampire Kiss-Shot Acerola-Orion Heart-Under-Blade has just arrived in town at that period, and asks Koyomi to allow her to drink some of his blood to regain enough powers to make a portal to the present. Koyomi complies to her request, but decides to spend more time in the past for the meantime.
