During summer, the girls, Pop, and Doremi's parents go to her grandparents' house in Hida. After a while, the girls notice both Keisuke and Yuusuke seem to be mad at eachother and that Aiko seems to be afraid of Yuusuke. That night, they also learn about the legend of Zenjuro and Mayuri, two lovers that couldn't meet after one of them was decapitated by the kingdom's ruler. Doremi and the others figure out that Mayuri and her mother were witches, so they decide to go visit the Frog Stone in secret, leaving the next morning.
After walking for a bit, Doremi gets tired, so they transform into witches to fly on their brooms. Minutes after they take flight, Hazuki's broom starts failing, and so do the rest, being barely saved by Aiko. When they manage to land, they realize their clothes have reverted to normal, and they can't transform again.
