In this chapter, we learn that the ogres abandoned their project to create a human-like form of the monster because they realized that humans would not be able to use the power of the "goddess" . They also realized that they would be reduced to "a mindless husk," doomed to live on the surface for the rest of their lives. The leader of the gang is now standing at the center of the group, and the leader is the only one who knows how to use his power. He tells the gang that they should get in their hatred to admit that he is the leader, because he is human. He also tells them that even after they found out about all he's done, they were still stuck on him. The gang whips him for coming back, and he says that it's because he kept treating himself like dirt. They whip him for telling them that the bastard was the one who carried the "force of the blow" through his body. The captain is conflicted about whether or not to kill Ayanashi. He wants to kill him, but he also wants to find a new leader for the gang. The only reason he survived was because he got first aid from ayame, who was appointed his body guard. He's sorry that it took him so long to respond to his letter, and says that he hopes it doesn't rub him the wrong way.
