Summary[]
Shirayuki heads off to work in the greenhouse, passing by Zen and Shikito on her way. Zen drops by the greenhouse to see Shirayuki, since they don't bump into each other in the palace as often anymore, and overhears her singing. She shares with him that she has something fun planned for the day.
Suzu, Yuzuri, and Kirito have arrived at Wistal to visit Shirayuki and to meet the court herbalists. Zen complains to Obi that Obi neglected to tell Zen that the herbalists from Lilias were going to visit. Mitsuhide asks if Kiki has arrived and Obi notices that Mitsuhide is acting awkwardly around Zen. When Kiki appears, they see that she has cut her hair. Mitsuhide remarks her hair was like when they first met and he mistook Kiki for a boy, but is embarrassed when Obi starts to laugh and asks for all the details of the story from Zen. After Zen sends Obi to the medical ward, Mitsuhide asks Obi in confidence whether Obi is aware if Kiki is interested in anyone romantically. Meanwhile, Zen affirms to Kiki it was the right choice to ask her to become his aide, but Kiki says it was actually she who chose Zen and Mitsuhide.
Shirayuki brings the Lilias trio to the medical wing, where they surprise Ryuu. Although they're looking forward to meeting Garak, Shirayuki warns them that Garak is not her usual self. Garak greets the herbalists and immediately assigns them the medical wing's backlog of work and disappears into her room; Shirayuki reveals the backlog is the source of Garak's bad mood. Kirito offers a lifeline that Shidan gave him case of an emergency, which turns out to be a tip sheet on how to deal with Garak when she acting oddly. The group begins work on the backlog, and Shirayuki notices that Shidan's note suggests brewing tea to mellow out Garak.
As they take a break to create a special brew of medicinal tea, Izana appears in the medical wing. He declines their invitation to tea, but asks Shirayuki to bring him tea to his office later. Since Suzu, Kirito, and Yuzuri recognize him under his borrowed alias as Garak's assistant Louen, he reintroduces himself under his true identity as Izana Wistaria, surprising the Lilias trio that they had met the crown prince. As they continue their break, Yuzuri gives Shirayuki a new pair of earrings, and Obi and Suzu gossip about what Suzu's plans are in Wistal. Kirito reveals that Suzu will be assisting Shidan in Lilias with research on the orimmallys plants. Garak emerges from her office and her good mood is restored by the tea. She thanks them for their hard work and encourages them to continue expanding their horizons.
As their guests depart for the town, Shirayuki and Obi have tea with Zen and they catch up with everything that has happened for the day.
