Long Summary
After eating the Amiudake soup, Hiluluk feels much stronger. But while he was eating the medicine, a reaction happened in his lab. That was the reaction he was researching since so long ago. In joy after this miracle, he departs, suddenly telling Chopper to rest. He directs toward Dr. Kureha's house and begs her to complete two things, pretending he has not enough time to fulfill them: to continue his research on the Sakura powder and to teach Chopper medical knowledge so that he can become a good doctor. Angered by the 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 doctors left to help them. That is one of the reason for Hiluluk's hurry. Determined to cure the sick doctors, he rushes toward the castle despite the fact he is blocked 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 rushes into his house, she encounters Chopper who reveals her that the doctor is much better thanks to his mushroom soup. The old woman is in shock, the mushroom is a deadly poisonous mushroom 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 could dies there.
