On her journey, Kikka encounters Hiyori, a student of Teruto, who saves her from an attack by a Kuge boss. Hiyori reveals to Kikka that she has been searching for her for the past three years. They were successful in fighting off the attacks, and Hiyori introduced Kikka as ‘Teruko’ to her allies who have been hidden in the wilderness. Despite being welcomed with open arms, there is one person, Yomogi, who is suspicious of Kikka.
Hiyori takes Kikka to a tent formerly used by Teruto to rest. Later, Hiyori gives Kikka a card deck previously used by Sakura.
