## Summary

Fushi transforms himself as the wolf, March, and the bear. Pioran then exclaims how amazing it is.Booze Man then says that it's too much for his caliber and asks Pioran where did she find him. Pioran responds that Fushi was caught by Yanome, stuff happened and they're now traveling together. Gugu then approaches Fushi and introduces himself as the servant in Booze Man's place. Gugu then asks Fushi his name. Fushi, not knowing what "name" is, Pioran answers on his behalf and says it's "Fushi". Gugu then teases Fushi saying he can't say his name and his name literally describes himself which is immortal but exclaims that he likes weird people like him. Gugu then asks Booze Man if he can show Fushi around.

While showing Fushi around, Gugu asks if they are going to say there. He tells that he had once wounded really badly and Booze Man saved him, but still describes him as weird. Gugu then reveals he calls the old man "Booze Man" is because he makes too much alcohol which makes him crazy resulting in them not having that many customers. Gugu then shows Fushi where they distill it and offer Fushi to try some. Gugu then drags Fushi outside and heads down to the lake. Just as they were going to the lake, Fushi stops. Pioran asks Gugu is he is not scared of the woods since they were attacked by some weird being in the woods in the form of a tree. Gugu then turns to Fushi and asks Fushi why is he scared since he is immortal. Fushi replies with the word "scared". Gugu then offers for them to get back to the Booze Man's place.

After arriving at the place, Gugu then tells Fushi that Booze Man will bee angry if they use water but brushes it off. Gugu then notices Fushi's wound and curiously asks why is he injured since he is immortal. Fushi does not respond. Gugu then tells him to say "I don't know" if he cannot find a response. Fushi replies with "I don't know".

Gugu then tries to remove Fushi's clothing so he can wash it but Fushi's clothing is sticking to him. When Gugu's done removing his clothes, Fushi grabs his mask and tries to take it off. Gugu then describes himself as ugly. Fushi asks what "ugly" means to which Gugu responds that it is a face that makes you laugh when you see it. Fushi then wears Gugu's masks and says the world ugly. Gugu then offers them to be friends since they are both monsters.

The next day, Gugu is giving a lecture to Fushi about how he needs to learn to work if he's staying at the Booze Man's place. Gugu then orders Fushi to say "yes" as Fushi is no answering to him. Gugu then proceeds to teach him about cleaning in the morning, preparing food, and working in the fields until noon.

While working at the fields, Gugu asks how old Fushi is and Fushi responds that he does not know. Gugu then asks about his parents, Fushi again replies that he does not know. Gugu then proceeds in telling him that parents are people who work for your sake out of unconditional love. Gugu then asks if Fushi has siblings and again Fushi replies with he does not know. Gugu tells that he has an older brother who left to make money and he'll be rich and come back. He also tells Fushi that maybe not knowing is a form of happiness itself since there is no need for despair, and saying that he envies Fushi.

At dinner, Pioran asks Booze Man what they are going to do with Fushi. Booze Man replies that he does not know since he is only a brewer. However, Gugu wants to show Fushi to everyone. However, Booze Man replies that if Fushi is about to show to anyone, there will be war. Pioran then exclaims that many people would pay a lot of money for him. Gugu protects Fushi and replies that they can't sell Fushi and tells them that Fushi holds a priceless and unique power and he wants to become a family with him. Gugu says that Fushi is like a little brother to him.

Outside Booze Man's place is Gugu and Fushi resting, Gugus asks Fushi where can he see himself in ten years. Fushi continues to eat his food. Gugu tells him that he expects that his life will be the same in ten years, that he once dreamed of living in a mansion and that dreamed came true but there was a price for it. The life where he had a cool older brother and the girl he likes is the life he won't be able to get back.

The next day, a young girl appears at the store and says that he needs something for her body. Gugu then replies if she needs nutritional supplements if that's the case he can make something for her, The young girl excitedly asks if it can heal wounds since her wounds from the last three months are not healed yet. Gugu reassures the young girl that it will heal her wounds. The young girl then asks what is the mask for and Gugu replies that its purpose is to attract customers. The young girl asks Gugu if he is not from that store and Gugu replies that he is just working there. The young girl asks his name, just as Gugu was about to respond, she clears the misunderstanding and tells that she is asking for Fushi's name.
