Hibitonan dispatches Mon and Zen to stop Shuga from entering the canyon where Chagum and Balsa were allegedly killed. Shuga learns that Sagum has died from overwork and grief, then shares his interpretation of the inscriptions with Hibitonan, claiming Chagum is alive and a water spirit is needed to end the drought. The Emperor grants Shuga permission to lead secret hunters to find and retrieve Chagum. The group visits an errand shop operated by Touya and Saya, where Zen and Yun secretly obtain records from the order book to track the prince. Shuga searches for Chagum and Balsa while Zen and Yun follow Touya back to the village.
