While travelling to Eterna Lake, they run into a guy named Ferrio who saves them from a monster.
Ferrio then offer them to be their guide to get out of the Silence forest. They say no, and try to lose him, but he still follow them.
The girls then discuss about him being their guide, but they can't trust him, due to the fact he still a stranger. They let him be their guide and uses food as payment since they have no money.
We then find out that Ferrio was an entertainer, and Princess Emeraude saved his life when they thought he stole in the castle. Princess Emeraude then told the guards that it was a gift (the egg looking treasure) to him. That's why he is on the quest to save Princess Emeraude.
They then take rest (thanks to Mokona) in a huge room/tent. Hikaru wants to give Ferrio food, who is outside, but Fuu tells her she'll do it. The reason is, Hikaru is too kind, and might invite him in to stay with them.
