Once she gets the hang of her powers, the foe is vanquished, and the knights bid her farewell for the time being.

Reflecting on the day's events, Himeno decides that she doesn't wish to see any of the other knights get hurt due to her inexperience, and asks Sasame to help her train using her abilities as a Prétear. Working together, Himeno becomes the Prétear of Sound and learns how to use the Sonic Arrow. After a satisfactory first lesson, Sasame treats Himeno to a snack in the park, where the two discuss what it means to be a Prétear, and Hayate's inhospitable personality.
