Leon and friends are back on the road to Sado, having narrowly survived a rocky reunion between Satake and her sister, Mikazuchi. Old wounds are healed, promises are made, and the seemingly ageless girl known as Tama becomes the newest addition to the party. Just when things seem to be looking up, they run into a hulking, winged ape with a taste for "strange meat." This foe may prove too great even for Satake, but Sado beckons across the sea. Is this the end of the line for the unlikely allies?
