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.
Sir Rio, that's the way things stand.

Pues así son las cosas.
Pues así son las cosas.
Voilà ce qu’il en est, sieur Rio.
Messer Rio, questo è quanto.
Rio-dono, agora é com você.
Господин Рио, вы всё слышали.
