Asano freaks out when the travellers return and goes back into the wagon.  Suzu asks him to join her on her journey to see queen Kei but he doesn't asnwer.  Suzu boards a boat and meets a boy who she saves from falling over the edge.  Yoko's absence from the palace has caused a little concern.  Her official story is that she is in En but Enki explains to Rakushun that she is actually learning about her people.  Yoko arrives at the village just in time to save it from two youma.  Shoukei can't handle being in the palace at Kyou knowing that she once had all this stuff.  She steals from jewelry and a youma and escapes.  On the ship that Suzu took, she finds that Asano has stowed away.  She and the boy she saved help him. 
Later Seishou, the boy, comes to ask payment for the pass he gave Asano.  Suzu, still thinking that kaikyaku are horribly mistreated does like the way that Seishou is acting.  Asano meanwhile thinks that Seishou is a spy is wants to destroy the world.
