When Golem and Somali need to travel across a large desert, two bird travelers, Uzoi and Haitora, offer them free transport. But these travelers harbor secrets, and they could possibly be a danger to Somali.

Hoping to cure Haitora's illness, Uzoi attacks Somali, but realizes she can't bring herself to hurt her. That night, Haitora reveals an important secret to Golem... which Uzoi happens to overhear.

Somali and Golem stay for the night at an empty lodge when it starts raining. The two spend time baking together when Somali finds a cookbook. During the night, two friends appear before them.

Golem recalls back to the time he first met Somali in his forest. Later, when Golem and Yabashira begin their jobs as bodyguards, Somali and Shizuno do arts and crafts when Somali decides she wants to make a gift for Golem.
