As always, a great deal has been changing throughout Genos and the forest's edge. Asuta and company attended their first dance party and had a decently good time. Knowledge about how to prepare delicious meals has at long last reached the final few clans at the forest's edge. And perhaps the most revolutionary development of all, Shumiral has been accepted as a member of a clan after finally returning to Genos!

However, major issues are on the horizon as the rainy season arrives. With it, Asuta will face all sorts of new changes in his day-to-day life, including a shift in which ingredients will be available for him to use. Furthermore, slaves from the north have been brought in as part of a grandiose project to clear a path through the forest's edge. Will Asuta be able to help them out in any way? And what will he do when he learns of a peculiar illness which supposedly only afflicts children?
