In the second episode of Ooyukiumi no Kaina, we see the characters Kaina and Ririha on a journey to the Snow Sea. Ririha is the princess of a small country called Atland, located at the foot of a coniferous tree in the Snow Sea.

She is searching for a sage whom she believes can help her overcome the water shortage threatening her land and the world. Ririha explains that a powerful country named Valghia stole water from neighboring lands, causing them to collapse and leaving the survivors as slaves. Ririha believes that if they can resolve the water shortage, they can save the world from ruin.

Kaina and other villagers listen to Ririha's story and try to help her in her search for the sage. The villagers also struggle with water scarcity, and the Shield Guardian explains that there used to be villages like theirs all across the treetops, but the water dried up, and their village was the last one remaining.

The Grans and the Shield Guardian provide Ririha with shelter and food and also want to know why she is seeking the sage. Ririha explains that her mother told her stories about "the sage" when she was a child and that the sage possesses the knowledge to solve the water shortage problem. She is determined to find him and restore hope to her land and the world.

As the story progresses, Ririha faces many challenges, and it becomes clear that the sage she is searching for might not even exist.

The episode delves deeper into the world of the series and offers a glimpse into the lives of the people living on the Snow Sea. The pacing of the episode is slow, giving viewers enough time to immerse themselves in the setting, which might be challenging for some. The episode also touches on the theme of the Ooyukiumi no Kaina movie, announced on the series' official website, raising the question of whether the series will be condensed into a film version or if it will serve as a continuation of the series.
