The episode opens with Toya standing on a bridge. In his hand are some gold coins. He looks extremely heartbroken and states that it doesn’t matter how much money he has, it’s not worth anything without “her.” He drops the money in the water, and walks away.
The scene shifts to the village where Toya and Saya have been staying. Tanda is examining an unconscious Saya. Tanda learns that Saya went into a coma shortly after drinking some flower wine. (The wine had been provided to celebrate a “happy occasion.”) Drinking the wine had apparently caused her soul to go wandering off. (Chagum turns up during the examination to ask helpful expository questions that reveals some of the mechanics of the story’s magical system.)
The next scene is Balsa looking for Toya. When she finds him, he seems extremely unhappy about something, and seems to have plans to leave his nice new house. The scene shifts to an earlier point in time. Toya is speaking to an older woman. The subject of the discussion is a marriage offer for Saya. (It seems that since Toya is Saya’s acting big brother, he’s the one who has to handle negotiations of this nature.) The older woman is putting a lot of pressure on him, while pretending to be friendly. She offers what is probably an impressive amount as a betrothal gift, but Toya is reluctant. The marriage broker indicates that Saya has already indicated that she wants the marriage, and Saya seems to back the broker up. (She does not look especially happy however.) Toya is heartbroken, but determined to do what Saya wants.
We go back to Toya and Balsa. Balsa speculates that it is possible there is a connection between the marriage agreement and her collapse later. Toya is of course extremely upset that something has happened to Saya. The scene shifts back to Tanda, who is learning about the marriage arrangement that had been made with the son of a local rice merchant. Tanda states that for whatever reason, Saya’s soul (which had gone wandering as a result of the rice wine) is refusing to return to her body as a result of something that happened.
Tanda starts to ask some questions about how the marriage agreement came about. The prospective groom states that Saya had seemed somewhat gloomy during the party. (We get a sudden shot of the marriage broker, who looks extremely guilty.) Toya bursts into the house with Balsa close behind. Toya rushes over to Saya and declares that this is why he didn’t want to agree to the marriage. The merchant’s son is astonished: he’d been told that Toya had agreed immediately.
Balsa, who may or may not have had past experience with over enthusiastic marriage brokers draws the conclusion that this particular marriage broker pushed the marriage using underhanded methods. The marriage broker looks even more guilty and Toya yells at her.
Chagum asks if Saya will return to her body, now that she knows that the wedding is off. Unfortunately, it’s not that simple. Saya’s soul is not in a place where she can overhear the conversation. Tanda states that he’s going to have to perform a “soul summoning.” Of course, this is still not easy, since Tanda has been forbidden by his teacher Torogai from working magic of that nature (for the very good reason that he is not actually good at it). Balsa is not at all happy about this. She is a warrior and Tanda is about to do something dangerous that she can’t help him with. She is however, determined to keep watch over him.
Tanda is able to leave his body, and find Saya. He learns from Saya that the marriage broker actively threatened her into agreeing to the marriage. Saya, feeling trapped by a horrible situation that she could not escape because she believed that Toya would be punished if she did not go along with the marriage, she fled the only way she could. Tanda reassures her that Toya will not be punished and that everything is going to be all right. She wakes up in her own body after she sees Toya coming in to check on her.
Tanda however, is still having an out of body experience. Chagum questions why Tanda has not returned yet, and Balsa says he’s just taking his time coming back, and tells Chagum to go get something to eat. She is very clearly pretending not to be worried. Balsa and Tanda have a very eerie conversation where they are more or less answering each other without actually hearing each other since they’re on two different planes of reality. The eeriness is broken up a bit when Tanda becomes exasperated at himself for having a heart to heart conversation with someone who can’t actually hear him.
Tanda does a little wandering, accidentally stepping completely into the other world. After some experimentation, he notices a butterfly slipping into and out of the “real” world and the spirit world. The reason it’s able to do this is because it drank from a dish of flower wine. He deduces that if he drank the wine, he’d be able to return to his body. Unfortunately, he can’t drink the wine. He then discovers that the he can communicate with Chagum because the Nyung Ro Im egg inside of Chagum exists in both worlds. He’s able to explain the situation via Chagum, and Balsa takes the dish of flower wine and pours it down Tanda’s throat. Tanda wakes up, complaining that Balsa had been a little too rough.
We end with Tanda discussing the Toya and Saya situation. He had not really been aware that Toya and Saya were in love with each other. Balsa however states that the signs were there. This prompts a very speculative look from Chagum, who seems to think that something is funny. (Or as if he suddenly realizes that Tanda and Balsa are in love.) Both Balsa and Tanda suddenly look extremely bashful. The three head home and we go to the ending credits.
