In the fifth episode of "The Fire Hunter," Season 2, the journey of Koushi, Kun, Touko, and their canine companions continues toward a destination previously mentioned by Hibari. Their adventure takes a fascinating turn when Kun discovers a glowing fish in a stream, which mysteriously dissolves upon touch, leading Koushi to speculate that it may be of divine origin.

As they venture deeper into a shadowy forest, their encounter with a flame monster is abruptly ended by Akira's timely intervention, and shortly afterward, Roroku joins them. Akira shares her experiences and introduces Roroku, sparking a conversation about their next steps toward the capital. The group decides to rest, except for Koushi and Akira, who engage in a heartfelt discussion about Hibari, the Flickering Flame, and Koushi's responsibility toward the people he cares about.

The next morning, Koushi expresses his desire to atone for his past actions by identifying a specific beetle responsible for the spiders' fire resistance, though Touko is frustrated that he doesn't want to search for Hinako or Kira. Akira, supporting Koushi's decision, distributes letters containing an important message and splits the group to maximize their efforts in both beetle hunting and delivering the letters to the capital.

Upon their arrival in the capital, Koushi and Roroku notice a strange smell and odd noises before parting ways. Koushi's conversations with the locals reveal the city's desolate state and lead him to a rescue station, where he meets Mr. Hitoo. Their discussion uncovers Mr. Hitoo's research on human combustion and rumors of a red-haired warrior destined to save the Fire Hunters.

Meanwhile, Akira, Touko, and Kun, in their search for the beetle, draw closer to the essence of the blazing flame and encounter suspicious individuals. Their investigations yield crucial clues that propel their quest forward.
