Balsa discovers that she and Chagum are being followed by the secret hunters (Mon, Jin, Zen, and Yun), having no choice but to fight against these pursuers while Chagum runs away. However, in the confusion, she suffers severe injuries and the hunters capture Chagum. Meanwhile, Tōya and Saya stops by a restaurant in the evening to wait for Tanda, who stops by there twice a day to check up on any new medicine orders. Balsa manages to rescue Chagum, but due to her wounds, she gives him directions to where Tanda lives in the mountains. After successfully reaching Tanda, Chagum tells him about Balsa's current critical state.
