The third episode of "Saijaku Tamer wa Gomi Hiroi no Tabi wo Hajimemashita" begins with a glimpse into Femicia's childhood, showcasing her family dynamics and her anticipation for her fifth birthday. Femicia is full of expectations, eagerly awaiting the moment she receives her ability—a unique power granted to every individual at the age of five, which determines their place in society.

Femicia's family, consisting of her parents Tablo and Fulfe and her siblings Feton and Fecilla, all possess their own abilities, marked by stars. Just before her birthday, Femicia expresses her desire to become a Tamer—a person who befriends and controls monsters—despite her brother Feton's skepticism.

On the night before her birthday, the fortune teller Mistress Luba visits Femicia to wish her luck. Luba senses something unusual about Femicia, particularly her mysterious hints of a past life, and advises her to keep these memories a secret.

During the ability-bestowing ceremony, a shocking revelation occurs: Femicia receives a Tamer ability, but she has no stars, making her "starless." This unexpected outcome leads to a dramatic turn in Femicia's life. Her father Tablo struggles to accept this development, fearing that Femicia, as a starless individual, has been forsaken by the gods.

The villagers of Latomi, including Femicia's own family, begin to shun her as a bringer of misfortune. In this time of isolation and misery, Luba—the only person who remains kind to Femicia—gives her a magic pouch and a book, inviting her to embark on a journey to see the world from a different perspective.

Three years pass, and Femicia, now living in solitude, learns to survive by scavenging and hunting. Her world is shaken when she overhears the villagers mourning Luba's death, blaming it on a curse supposedly triggered by Femicia's starless nature. The village chief incites the villagers to hunt down and kill Femicia to prevent further calamity.

In the final scenes, the desperate and lonely Femicia encounters a creature named Sora. Initially frightened, she soon realizes that Sora has healed her wounds and means her no harm. Femicia finds solace in her newfound ability to communicate with Sora and decides to continue her life with this unusual companion. The episode ends with the rejected and misunderstood Femicia finding hope in her unique bond with Sora.
