|summary=Kaban and [[Serval/Anime|Serval]] continue their adventure on the now perfectly functional [[Japari Bus]]. [[Lucky]] drives the bus into the Desert Area and suggests that the passengers get a better look at the landscape through the window on the bus's ceiling. While Kaban and Serval are amazed by the seemingly never-ending landscape of the beautiful sandy desert, a sudden large and frightful sandstorm blocks their way. Lucky quickly decides to drive back and find an alternate route to avoid it, unfortunately getting the bus stuck in the sand in the process. Kaban and Serval leave the bus to push it in hope to move the vehicle away from the incoming sandstorm, but aren't successful. Suddenly, a Friend falls from the sky on Serval's head, and the resulting impact sets the bus's wheels free from the sand. Kaban, Serval and the unknown Friend climb behind the bus in time while Lucky drives away, finally safe from the sandstorm. | |summary=Kaban and [[Serval/Anime|Serval]] continue their adventure on the now perfectly functional [[Japari Bus]].

The unknown Friend presents herself as [[Sand Cat/Anime|Sand Cat]], a curious Friend with a beautiful voice that quickly loses interest in the things she discovers. She tells them how she was intrigued by the aforementioned sandstorm, got accidentally trapped in it and thus sent flying against Serval. Her curious personality takes over mid-sentence, and she stops talking to admire the Japari Bus, before losing interest in it a few moments later. She acts the same way with Kaban's feather attached to her hat, which she initially mistook as animal ears, and Boss's ability to talk. Her demeanor slightly irritates Serval. | The unknown Friend presents herself as [[Sand Cat/Anime|Sand Cat]], a curious Friend with a beautiful voice that quickly loses interest in the things she discovers.

To avoid the high temperatures, Sand Cat invites Kaban and Serval to a cooler place: the cave she lives in. When they arrive, Sand Cat offers Japari buns to her guests. Because of the cold night of the desert, Kaban and Serval decide to stay in Sand Cat's house. Sand Cat shows the two another way to the library, through a hidden, paved tunnel below her house, and digs out an opening big enough for the Japari Bus to go through it. Kaban and Serval say their last words to Sand Cat before they continue their trip on the mysterious road. On a bend, they discover an another suspicious tunnel which they decide to visit. | To avoid the high temperatures, Sand Cat invites Kaban and Serval to a cooler place: the cave she lives in.

As they go deeper in the tunnel, the duo finds an interesting room and decides to inspect it. Serval accidentally hits a stray [[Wikipedia:Geta_(footwear)|geta]] on the ground, causing the path behind them to close, and a hallway of torches to activate. The 6lights reveal a mysterious gigantic labyrinth made of wood also known as The Underground Labyrinth. Kaban and Serval meet [[Tsuchinoko/Anime|Tsuchinoko]] who madly screams at them while hiding behind a pillar to calm herself. After Serval partly destroys the wall of what Tsuchinoko calls "priceless ruins," she begrudgingly accepts to give her assistance to find the exit. Tsuchinoko claims she can easily find the exit because of the scent of the air outside, as well as her ability to see infrared light thanks to her pit organ, revealing routes where | As they go deeper in the tunnel, the duo finds an interesting room and decides to inspect it.

A group of Celliens stand behind a wooden fence in front of the group, blocking their way.

Not long after, Tsuchinoko finds a coin which she excitedly describes as a "Japari coin", the ancient currency of Japari Park. After realizing how fired up she was being, she, embarrassed, hides behind a pillar and hisses at the other two. | Not long after, Tsuchinoko finds a coin which she excitedly describes as a "Japari coin", the ancient currency of Japari Park.

Kaban, Serval and Tsuchinoko work together to find an another exit to the underground labyrinth. Yet again, solidified lava blocks the way. Tsuchinoko and Serval try make their way through with force, but cannot break through the wall of lava. After noticing an exit sign near a wooden wall, and remembering the presence of said sign near previous exits, Kaban discovers a hidden path which leads to an as-of-yet undiscovered place which leads Tsuchinoko to theorize that the entire labyrinth was an attraction made for entertainment. She suggests that the place went unused because of the lava becoming a problem. Lucky, who was separated from the group since when they entered the labyrinth, rejoins them. Suddenly, Lucky's eyes become green, and he shares the recording of an unknown, non-robotic female voice who celebrated the opening of the underground labyrinth a long time before. A similar phenomenon previously happened when Kaban was sleeping in [[Episode 2 - Jungle Area]]. | Kaban, Serval and Tsuchinoko work together to find an another exit to the underground labyrinth.

At the end, [[Raccoon/Anime|Raccoon]] and [[Fennec Fox/Anime|Fennec Fox]] meet [[Jaguar/Anime|Jaguar]] and [[Asian Small-Clawed Otter/Anime|Asian Small-Clawed Otter]] in the jungle. Raccoon nearly drowns in the river, but survives by holding onto the partial bridge thought of by Kaban in [[Episode 2 - Jungle Area|Episode 2]], and when is told about her doesn't understand that Kaban is the same person she's chasing. Jaguar tries to give them directions to where Kaban is headed, but is cut off by Raccoon rushing immediately to the mountain as soon as she hears that Kaban went there. | At the end, [[Raccoon/Anime|Raccoon]] and [[Fennec Fox/Anime|Fennec Fox]] meet [[Jaguar/Anime|Jaguar]] and [[Asian Small-Clawed Otter/Anime|Asian Small-Clawed Otter]] in the [[jungle]].
