The second half of the series takes place in Xian, where Otaru and the girls go on a holiday trip won through a lottery. At this time, Otaru's relationship with the girls becomes more complicated, as he experiences growing pressure from the girls to choose one of them to marry. Instead, he chooses to try to show affection to them equally, without singling any of them out. While the girls feel sorry for Otaru and appreciate his attempt to be considerate, they begin to feel that they are emotionally mature enough to handle the situation, whoever he might choose.
