In this chapter, we learn that the "mountain god" is the president of the city's supernatural association. He's here to find out if there's a cave monster on the mountain, and if there is a "cave-monster" there. The president asks the officers if they're here to search for the cave monster, and the officers tell him that they are. He tells them that he's not a police officer, and that they don't need to worry about him. He also tells the officers that the legend of the mountain god is only spread among a small number of people. The officers tell the president that they've finally reached the lake, and he tells them to pull back, wait for them there, and then get down. The officer tells him that the lake is gone, but that they can still get down there. He asks the girl if she's planning to try anything, and she says that she doesn't know. The girl asks the officer if she can drink the lake's water, but the officer tells her that she can't, because it's too dangerous for her to drink it. The two of them talk about the strange human that appeared at the cave entrance, and they decide that the strange woman is pretending to be insane and stupid. The weird woman wanted to find someone to talk to.
