Yuna quickly finds that taking care of a baby phoenix is harder than she thought. It needs a special diet and a lot of attention, and it keeps trying to fly away. Yuna is determined to raise it correctly, however, so she seeks out the help of the local bird expert, a girl named Shia.

Shia is initially suspicious of Yuna's bear suit, but she agrees to help her with the phoenix after seeing how dedicated she is.

She receives a request to escort a group of traders through a dangerous forest, and she decides to take Fina and the phoenix with her. Fina is nervous about the mission, but Yuna's confidence and skill give her courage. However, things go awry when they encounter a group of bandits who demand the traders' goods. Yuna is ready to fight, but she's also worried about the safety of the phoenix. Fina comes up with a clever plan to distract the bandits while Yuna takes care of them, and they manage to save the traders and their cargo.

After the mission, Yuna realizes that she's learned a lot about responsibility from raising the phoenix. She knows that it's not easy to take care of another living being, but she also knows that it's worth it for the love and companionship that comes with it.
