Hirato revives Tsukumo from a boat floating along a river. Aboard Airship One, Kiichi and Jiki welcome Nai and Gareki, tasking them to clean up a room, though they end up using a team of Usagi to assist them. Afterwards, Nai and Gareki talk with Tsukitachi concerning Tsubame's well-being. After Jiki intimidates Gareki with his incredible speed, Nai later tells Tsukitachi that he wants to talk to Jiki, worried for Gareki's life. Yogi learns from Akari that Nai and Gareki are deployed to Vint, a wildlife reserve for rare and endangered species, though there have been many reports of poaching. Splitting into two separate groups, Gareki goes with Tsukitachi while Nai goes with Jiki. Tsukitachi explains to Gareki that incuna are omnipotent cells with dazzling effects with proper training or can bite back if not controlled. Nai and Jiki's group spots Kiripon, a cow-like Varuga, but it fights back after getting agitated. However, Yogi arrives to protect Nai, while Kiichi pursues and kills Kiripon. Yogi brings Nai and Gareki back to Airship Two, but Jiki has been given the order to stay with Nai and Gareki for awhile. At night, Gareki wonders where his real home really is.
