Synopsis[]
By chance, Shuga locates Chagum and Balsa in the city. Determined to bring Chagum back to the palace, the Mikado's hunters find the watermill and set a trap in hopes of capturing Balsa and Chagum. When he discovers the hunters, Toya risks his life and sets fire to the waterwheel to warn Balsa. The warning succeeds - when they see the fire, Balsa and Chagum set off to the Inishie Village in hopes of learning more about the water spirit and Chagum's role as its guardian.
