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.
While I live in the village,
 then, the spirit arts...
...إذا، بينما أعيش في هذه القرية، فون الأرواح
En ese caso, mientras viva aquí…
En ese caso, mientras viva aquí…
Alors, pour le temps de mon séjour,
voudriez-vous bien
Allora, finché resterò qui vorrei che mi insegnaste...
Então, enquanto eu morar
na vila, as artes espirituais...
Во время пребывания в деревне...
был бы рад...
