Sant and Rigan were thrilled at the prospect of swimming in the river of fruit juice. However, Gason interrupted their plans and offered his shoulders to carry them across the river, which was quite long. Gason, Gayon, and Gangmon carried Sant and Rigan swiftly through the air, eventually arriving at a magnificent castle constructed entirely of cakes.

"Gapon resides within the castle, seated upon an icy throne," Gayon informed them. "There are no obstacles or individuals to impede your visit, aside from the avarice of the populace. Numerous individuals have perished due to their insatiable desire to consume the delectable treats that line the path to Gapon. Consequently, we caution you against succumbing to such temptations." Sant was resolved to resist any form of greed, but Rigan, who was famished, felt uncertain.

The peculiar land of sweets possessed a temperate climate, neither excessively cold nor overly warm. It exuded an atmosphere of unparalleled comfort. Amidst the picturesque vistas of chocolaty hills and jelly-filled paths, Sant, Rigan, Gason, Gayon, and Gangmon made their way towards the castle. Rigan, driven by hunger, yearned to devour the food, but somehow managed to control his appetite. However, this restraint proved short-lived, as he intentionally collapsed onto the creamy carpet upon entering the castle's main entrance. Sant attempted to lift him from the carpet, but his efforts were futile. Rigan was eventually completely covered in cream. As Sant endeavored to uncover him, he himself became solidified by the cream. Gangmon consoled Sant, urging him to cease his attempts, as the greedy Rigan had now fallen prey to Gapon. Sant was overcome with dejection at the loss of Rigan, who had promised to always remain by his side.
