Episode Title:
A Village For All
Episode Description:
Bell isn't happy with the crystal in the throne room, whose name is revealed to be Gou, for how poor the castle's condition is. Gou explains the castle's history after Bell was imprisoned by the nobles who originally ruled the castle. It turns out the castle is running out of fuel and will crash down into the surface. Getting fuel will be very difficult, but Ru has a hotstone from the hot springs, which can be used as fuel. Hiraku sends Daga and Hakuren to get more hotstones. Kuzu decides to serve the Great Tree Village and gives them the Sun Castle. Hiraku decides to make the Sun Castle the fourth village in the Forest of Death. The group get to work fixing up the castle and its village. Later, after getting the hotstones, Bell learns from Gou that all of the castle's weapons are sold off and it now relies more on defense. A hot air balloon is built so it can reach the Sun Castle. When winter arrives, the Sun Castle remains warm. Hiraku discovers that seeds that he planted in the Sun Castle's fields have grown in three days, but they have no nutrients. After rectifying this problem, Hiraku continues to help the villages survive the winter. With the Sun Castle orbiting the forest, Hiraku gets the idea to use the castle's position to identify the time of the year. Later, Flowrem, Rashashi, and the Town Hall Girls try to figure out a symbol to honor Hiraku, but the latter comes up with a different idea. During a festival, Hiraku designs the symbol: a flag. The next day, the flags are hung around the four villages.
