On their way back to Clarines, it starts to rain and the group decide to stop for the night at a nearby Inn. While everyone enjoys being back together, Obi reflects on how much he has changed since meeting Zen and the others. He later reunites with Torou, an old acquaintance, who asks him to help her with a job. Obi sneaks away with Torou to an abandoned mansion to retrieve a young boy who ran away from home. They take care of the boy's bodyguards and have a moment to reminisce of their past together, but are interrupted when Zen and the others get to the mansion looking for Obi. Zen has a talk with Obi, telling him that he should have realized by now that around him are people who worry about him if he's not where he should be. They then resume their journey to Clarines and during the ride, Obi assures Shirayuki he has no intention of returning to his previous life.
