The monster explains that he was the one who saved the girl when she was drowning. He says that technically, he can control monsters, but he can't be a god because he's just an ordinary man who happens to see spirits. The monster says that he received a request to save the girl, and he didn't have time to do so. He's not a demon, he says, because he killed the girl. He doesn't care if the girl is a demon or not, he just needs her help. The two of them can help one another out, even if they don't know each other's identities. For example, when the people worshipped the monster for his ability to control floods, he eventually caused a drought and the people blamed him for causing it. This is why the people tried to kill him instead. But the monster says he can help the girl learn to control her own abilities so that she can live a normal life. He explains that the thing he needs to find is a long journey and that's why he has no other strength besides the heat of the sun. The only weapon he has is the ability to kill himself if he tries to harm the girl during the journey.
