Summary
Somali and Golem travel via wagon before reaching Winecup Village. As they consider what to eat, Somali decides on ice cream. Meeting Uzoi, they sit together along with Haitora as Golem mentions that they are looking for humans for research purposes.

Uzoi recommends that Somali come with them across the desert. Alone in their room, Uzoi reveals that she extended the offer since Somali has a similar smell to Haitora and he wonders what would a human be doing with a golem.

Preparing the wagon, Golem asks Haitora if there is anything wrong. Making their way they are beset by sandstorms, Golem remarks the situation is more like a sea during a storm than a desert. He notices something approach, and Uzoi recognizes it as a sand shark.

Reaching a cave, Uzoi and Somali gather torch bugs to use their glow for the night. Setting up a tent, Golem raises with Haitora that humans were seen in the western Osuna Desert and asks if he has heard the same thing.

He reveals he is human and is travelling to cure his condition. Gathering water, Uzoi declares her intent to kill Somali since her blood could be used to cure Haitora.
