Dark's next mission is to steal a bird relief that is atop of the Central Church. However, Risa, who had a crush on Dark, makes Daisuke promise to go with her to see Dark late at night.

Satoshi Hiwatari is a genius kid who goes to the same school as Daisuke, and also heads up the investigation to capture Dark. Satoshi suspects that Daisuke is Dark, and when Satoshi discovers Daisuke looking up his Alumnus Profile at school, he decides to test his theory. He sets up a trap that locks him and Daisuke in a chilled storage room, and he jimmied the locks so that even Daisuke couldn’t break the code.

Today is cooking practice, which Risa hates. At cooking practice, she performs miserably and she and Daisuke are forced to do “cabbage shredding” after school. So she begs her twin sister, who is good at cooking, to ‘switch places’ with her so that she doesn’t have to do cabbage shredding. Things get really crazy when Daisuke has to leave for home before the after school cabbage shredding is finished, and uses With to transform into him and take his place.

6: St. White Memories

When Dark tells her that the warning letter was not fake and he came to steal her heart, it makes her happy.

The stone statue of Adonis, which Daiki and Daisuke tried to seal long time ago, gets retrieved from the ocean. This statue contained a spirit which they also refer to as Adonis.

When Dark finds Adonis, he realizes that Adonis changed and now is planning to die.
