Subaru's first day in Roswaal's mansion begins for the fifth time. Determined to save everyone this time, he makes it a point to keep his best smile on his face in order to earn the trust of the mansion's staff. But although he works his hardest to make them like him, his body begins to have trouble keeping up with his heart's intentions. Soon Emilia is unable to bear the sight of him struggling any longer and takes an unexpected action...

The scattered pieces of the puzzle finally come together, and Subaru realizes for certain that the shaman who cursed him is in the village at the foot of the mountains. He heads there with Ram and Rem and makes sure all the villagers touch him so that he can find out, with Beatrice's help, who cast the curse. But the truth he finds is not what he expected, and he finds himself rushing toward the village again...
You really do look like a cat when 
you wash your face like that!
عندما تغسلُ وجهك بهذا الشّكل
فإنّك تبدو كقطّ حقاً
So wie du dein Gesicht putzt,
bist du wie ’ne echte Katze!
¡De verdad pareces un gato
lavándote la cara así!
¡Lavándote así sí que pareces un gato!
Tu te laves comme un chat !
Quando ti lavi la faccia in quel modo, 
sembri davvero un gatto!
Quando você esfrega sua cara desse jeito,
 você fica mesmo parecendo um gato!
Ты вылитый кот, когда умываешься!
