Gomen'nasai! This article is related to a game, manga series or other media that has not been released outside Japan. The coverage here may differ from what it would be in an official translation.
The chapter begins with Old Man Lobber on top of the waterfall calling Starfy's name. Starfy is excited to hear him and is relieved that he is alive. Starfy tries to use his Star Spin to climb the waterfall but he fails and falls back down again, disappointing Old Man Lobber who starts to walk away.
Starfy goes to lie to rest in a small cave with Moe and Starfy wonders where Old Man Lobber is now. Starfy finds Moe snoring heavily and Starfy finds him noisy. Suddenly, a boulder falls down and an earthquake occurs, forcing Starfy and Moe deeper into the cave. Starfy finds someone who he thinks might be Old Man Lobber, but it is in fact Gekojii holding a candle to light the area. He faces some rocks blocking the exit and Starfy and Moe watch as he drinks something called a "Power Up Drink" (Japanese: パワー アップ ドリンク) to smash the rocks away. Moe decides to face a rock and try to headbutt it himself, but he ends up hurting the top of his shell.
Starfy picks up the Power Up Drink and asks Moe to look at it, so he reads the name of it. Starfy later starts crying because Gekojii was littering and didn't throw the Power Up Drink in a bin. Starfy and Moe make it to Gekojii's room and Gekojii asks who they are, so Starfy tells Gekojii his name. Moe notices that there are lots of Power Up Drinks and finds a box full of them. While Gekojii is making dinner, Moe starts taking away the Power Up Drinks and Starfy calls him greedy.
Moe picks up a photograph of a relative of Gekojii and he gets angry telling him not to touch it. Later, Starfy thinks about Old Man Lobber again and Moe calls Starfy an idiot, saying Old Man Lobber is dead. Starfy cries, saying Old Man Lobber is surely alive. Gekojii relates to Starfy, saying that he also has a loved one that he does not know his whereabouts. He picks up the photograph and tells them that his grandson has gone missing. He then introduces himself as Gekojii of a Buddhist Temple.
Gekojii opens a door that leads to a waterfall. Gekojii shares his story about what happened to his grandson with Starfy. He explains that half a year ago his grandson came while Gekojii was making dinner, but a Komorin suddenly appeared and took him to the top of the waterfall. Gekojii had used one of his Power Up Drinks to try to climb to the top of the waterfall but failed.
Gekojii doesn't think its possible to go and get his grandson but Starfy tries for himself and drinks one of the Power Up Drinks. He successfully uses his Star Spin to climb the waterfall all when it seemed like Starfy was going to fail, thanks to the help of another drink. Starfy, exhausted from climbing feels the air and notices a small entrance to a cold cave. Upon entering the cave, he finds Gekojii's grandson with his eyes shut, ill, suffering from the coldness.
After returning back down from the waterfall, Gekojii lies his grandson on a bed and starts crying for him. Suddenly, Gekojii's grandson wakes up and Starfy is glad to see he is alive. Gekojii's grandson explains that even though he was cold and wet, he was hibernating. Gekojii's grandson pours a liquid into the dinner Gekojii was making and Gekojii's grandson offers Starfy a cup of something (presumably the dinner).
Starfy drinks from the cup and feels power overflowing through his body. Starfy uses his Star Spin towards some rocks and but he ends up making a star-shaped crater in the ground.
