The situation in their homes in Povrzete and Voda has improved, and residents are working as usual. And then... something happens and they find a way to safely reach the Exodus Kingdom during their journey.

"Hey, kid," Povrzete called to Samuël.
He replied, "Yes, what's wrong?"
He answered: "I'm cleaning up now. Is there anything you'd like to ask your mother?"
"I have something to take care of. Can I call you?"
"Yeah, I'm called now."

Then he immediately called his mother into the garden. At that moment, Wendy was asking her son (Samuël) about the vehicle they were going to build.

"Hey, what's up?"
"Well, ma'am. I'm going to ask you about the events of the past few days, and the topic will probably come up any minute now. That's why I called you in to get the chairman's approval for my proposal. Are you ready?"
"I'm fine... but my child..."
"Don't worry. I'll take care of him..."
"I don't want what happened yesterday to happen to you. Just be careful."
"Yes, I will, honey."
"Okay. I'll prepare the proposal, and then for you..."

"Okay, is there anything I can help you with?"

*Oh, she's so kind. Just like my mother used to be. I can't ask any more questions. Should I just end the conversation...*

Voda's innermost thoughts gradually become clearer, and she's still worried about what happened yesterday and Flora's near-death experience (though her love for Flora, the only one in her family without a hero, worries her).

While discussing Wendy, Povrzete, and Voda's plans for an expedition to the Exodus Kingdom, Samuël immediately asked Povrzete a question.

"Mom."
"Yes, what's the matter, son?"
"What are you doing?"
"Mom, we're planning to go there."
"Are you done yet, ma'am?"
"Not yet. I'm going to the village chief's house with Povrzete later."
"Can I come with you?"
"Are you sure you want to go there?"

"Rather than looking after my brother all day..."

Samuël agreed with his mother's plan and seemed keen to go on the adventure with her. However, Wendy was concerned about his health as it was his first time traveling so far from home.

"Are you okay? What if you get sick?"
"It's okay, Mom. I'm an adult and old enough to travel. Don't worry. I'll help you get to the Exodus Kingdom quickly."
"Yes, but not as quickly as the government there."

Wendy, Povrzete, and Samuël go to a village where they find a way to get to another kingdom without any obstacles.

They leave the house, leaving Voda and Flora, who are staying there, and head to another village. You probably don't know the map of this kingdom before the story begins.
