Summary
Golem receives an order as he continues his waiter duties at Kokilila's restaurant in Anthole City. Giina asks him if he is worried, before being told not to be as she is sure the kids will be fine.

In the cave under the city, Muthrica has finally found Somali after he defended her from a multi-eyed and fanged mushroom. Kikila greets him as his master, and reveals he is part of the Tsuchinoko Team.

Noticing her yozame flower is dying, Somali is shown the glowing roots of the tsuchiami tree, the sap of which the flowers feed off. Somali is determined to head further in to locate a flower strong enough for her wish. Led by Muthrica she travels with Kikila to find a large one that sustains many flowers.

They are cornered by a tsuchilizard, which Somali implores to let her keep the flower since she wants to stay with her dad forever.

By nightfall they are back, and Golem sees the yozame flower but asks why she neglected his order to return. If she continues to act with similar recklessness, he will be unable to travel with her any further.

Golem hears from Muthrica how Somali believed the superstition that the yozame flower grants wishes, and that her wish was to stay with her father forever.

Kikila continues to try and speak to Somali within her room, but upon finding her he sees she is ill with a fever. The only medicine available is for shurigaras. Somali is too ill to stomach food and Golem heads out to buy medicine. At this hour someone does answer, but reticent to specify that Somali is human, Golem says he requires medicine that will work on all clans.

The medicine succeeds in diminishing the fever, by morning Golem announces he needs to work longer to reacquire the money for them to travel to the Osuna desert. Somali's recovery is all that mattered to him, so using his money for the medicine is no problem, he says there is no replacement for Somali.
