Pissed by this favors she has to make for free, she kicks Hiluluk out.

In town, people are desperate. The Isshi-20 are sick and there is no more doctor left to help them. That is one of the reason for Hiluluk hurry. Determined to cure the sick doctors, he rushes toward the castle despite the fact he is researche by Wapol's soldiers. Meanwhile, Kureha is worried, she does not understand why Hiluluk is in such hurry while he has still 2 weeks to live for. When she rushed into his house, she encouters Chopper who reveals her that the doctor is much better thanks to his mushroom sup. The old woman is in shock, the mushroom is a deadly one and Hiluluk has only one hour left before he dies. Chopper does not understand, he shows the pirate sign who Hiluluk told him was a symbol of magic cure next to the mushroom picture he found in a book. Understanding the good intention of the reindeer, she tells him that he can do nothing without learning medical knowledge first and that Hiluluk has probably reached the castle so that he dies there.
