"A high-risk job?" Yona asks.
"Yes. Right now, you're extra baggage that serves no purpose." Gi-Gan says. "If the baggage is to fight alongside us against Yang Kum-Ji, I'll need to see if you are appropriately prepared to do it."
"Prepared... Understood. What should I do?"
"How about you go and pick the senjusou?" Gi-Gan demands causing the crew members to go pale.
"Captain, that's a bit too much..."
"Don't interrupt me! You can't do it, right?"
"What's senjusou?" Yoon asks.
"Senjusou grows on the Vanishing Cape. It's a medicinal remedy that can cure the sick and wounded three times faster than normal."
"Three times faster?! This is the first time I've heard about a medicine like that!"
"It's a valuable medicine within Kouka kingdom that only grows on the Vanishing Cape. The people in Awa who know about it are small in numbers. Because there is a small amount, it must not be completely plucked. Of course, Kum-Ji must not come to know of it. They would sell it and place an outrageously tax on it." Gi-Gan explains. "If we have that plant, our injured comrades will recover quicker. It's something we'll greatly need for future battles. The guy who usually picks it has been injured. If you do it in his place, you'll be accepted."
"I understand." Yona says.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you." Gi-Gan gets closer to Yona. "The senjusou grows on the side of a very steep cliff. Nobody is to lend you a hand in getting it. And you are to go alone."
"Wha...?!" Yoon and Kija exclaim.
"So that's your plan from the start!" Yoon questions and turns to Yona. "Yona, this is crazy!"
"Yoon, please. This is my job."
Hak and Mana stare at Yona and Gi-Gan smirks.
"That's the spirit. Jae-Ha, guide her." Gi-Gan orders.
"Yeah, yeah." Jae-Ha says.
"Well then, I'll be leaving for a bit. I'll be back soon, okay?" Yona asks before following Jae-Ha to where the senjusou is.
"Is it all right to let her go?" Yoon asks.
We could try to stop her right now..." Kija suggests.
"It's no use." Hak says. "Even if we try to stop her, hime-san won't listen."
A few minutes after Yona left with Jae-Ha, Gi-Gan notices the change in the wind is blowing.
"What's wrong, Captain?"
"The sea has become rough." Gi-Gan states.
"Huh? Really?"
"At this rate, that girl will be in trouble if she doesn't hurry up." Immediately after Gi-Gan said that, Hak runs off.
"Raijuu!" Yoon calls and they follow him to the cliff.
Once they reach to the cliff, Yoon becomes pale and Kija faints from seeing how steep the cliff is as Shin-Ah holding him.
"Hey..." Yoon speaks. "The senjusou grows in this type of place?"
"I said it was a steep cliff, didn't I?" Gi-Gan asks.
"IT'S TOO STEEP! This is too much! The sea is rough, and the raging winds could have blown her away!"
"I am going down to help her." Kija says after recovering from the shock.
