Ataru, Mendo, Lum and Shinobu are all set to enjoy a day at the beach when Cherry arrives with Sakura close behind. Sakura explains that they are there to exorcise the ghost of a dead horse who was abandoned by a young woman. Soon the phantom beast named Ao is bearing down on them, and snatches up Shinobu, Lum, and Sakura, believing these cute girls to be its master. Mendo tackles the runaway beast, while Ataru saves the girls and tries to make his escape. Mendo hops on the horse and chases Ataru down... until the horse decides to punch Mendo out. Everyone manages to subdue the equine, but it begins to cry as it realizes it will never see the young girl again. Just then a familiar voice is heard calling Ao's name. The horse rushes to reunite with its young mistress, but is shocked to see she has gotten old and fat. No one realized that the Ao had died 50 years ago.

Ai to yuki no hana ichi-rin; zenpen
(Flower Petals of Love and Courage - Part 1)
While waiting for Ataru so they can go to the movies together, Shinobu ponders the fact that she does not have anyone special in her life. As she tires of Ataru's fickle antics she comes upon Inaba lying in the street just like when they first met. They go to a cafe and he tells Shinobu that he has become attached to her. Ataru arrives and says that all women are Inaba's type and he does not care who he gets. Inaba confirms this as he needs a female partner to take a promotional test with. He explains that he must pick a flower from the Space-Time Forest whose ingredients are necessary for destiny production. Shinobu accepts and they arrive as all the rabbit men they fought against before discuss Inaba's inevitable failure at getting the flower. Ataru and Lum, Inaba and Shinobu disappear through a door and their test begins.

Chapter
348: 愛と勇気の花一輪；後編
Ai to yuki no hana ichi-rin; kouhen
(Flower Petals of Love and Courage) - Part 3)
Inaba catches up to Shinobu and explains to her how she could have been trapped there forever. Elsewhere the bunny men are talking to Lum and Ataru who are no longer participating in the competition. He explains that the Sub-Space Forest's flower is probably no longer in bloom even if Inaba can get back on course. Shinobu is still upset over Inaba's actions with the mermaid and decides to quit and go home when they come to a stairway that leads back to the course. The bunnygirls say that she is not allowed to go that way and will be unable to continue on with Inaba should he choose to use the staircase to return to the competition. His other choice is a door that is in the stomach of a giant boxer monster. Inaba swallows his fear and takes on the monster and is beaten within an inch of his life before accidently pulling out the stopper that deflates the creature. Shinobu is so moved by Inaba's courage that she promises to finish the test with him. When they finally reach the flower, it has wilted and cannot count towards passing the exam. Elsewhere the bunny men explain the real reason for having women come along on the test- the flower's fertilizer is true love. As Shinobu and Inaba sit and stare at the dead plant, Inaba says it never mattered to him. His real reason for inviting Shinobu was because he wanted to spend his life with her. Shinobu cries tears of joy and the flower springs back to life. With that the two have finally found their soulmates.

When he arrives, he is shocked to see Onsen-Mark has eated the same dumplings that he had and has also changed into a wolfman.
