Rio and Latifa have entered a forest in the Wilderness. While she's sleeping, they're surrounded by a band of what appear to be demi-humans. The girls reveal themselves to be People of the Spirits. Rio tries to talk things out with them, but Uzuma, a winged beast person, finds Latifa and assumes that Rio has abducted her. Uzuma swoops down on Rio without giving him a chance to explain. Her sudden attack renders Rio unconscious. In his dreams, a beautiful girl with pink blonde hair appears to him as well as Amakawa Hayato's childhood friend, Ayase Miharu.
As we are of different peoples,
،بما أننا من جنس مختلف
Da wir einem anderen Volk angehören,
Al tener culturas diferentes,
Al ser de culturas diferentes,
Nous avons du mal à trouver
Dato che apparteniamo a popoli diversi,
Como somos de povos diferentes,
Мы народ разных рас,
