Marumaro finds himself in hot water when he flirts with the innkeeper's wife, and he's in even deeper trouble when it turns out the innkeeper is a Shadow Wielder who deserted Gran Kingdom's army with the "wife" being his shadow. They soon learn that Marumaro isn't from Gran Kingdom. Marumaro and Saber Tiger later defend them from a Gran Kingdom captain and his troops with the innkeeper on his bounty list. Marumaro and Saber Tiger defeat them and they reunite with Shu and the others.
