In this chapter, Ren tells the audience that he has heard of Ren's extraordinary abilities and that he is well-versed in martial arts. He also tells them that he does not believe Ren has ever heard of an evil demon that Ren has set out to find. Ren explains that the evil demon is a mythical beast with long black hair and a "genderless body" that occasionally metamorphoses into men and women. He says that many families in the town used to be hunters, but since the recent chaos, they have become wary of the beast. Ren says that he cannot bear to see the townspeople suffering like this. He tells Ren that the head hunter has just been killed, and he is afraid that the next one the beast may target is Ren. Ren tells them to hurry and find the evil beast. He promises to live up to their expectations.
