Three years have passed since the village got the fire mark, and the young master is now one of the village's residents. The young master asks his brother if he has always wanted to be a peasant, and his brother replies that he has not. He tells his brother that one day, he saw a man reading under a tree, and he thought that the man was a noble who had lost his way into the village. The brother says that he would mistake the man for a noble, but the man is so strong that he looks down on him. He says that his brother is too weak to become a bandit, and that the village bullies him again today. The brothers say that they regret bringing their brother into the " lair of demons," and that they have been punished many times for running away with their brother. The younger brother asks the older brother why he is helping them escape from the village, and when the younger brother answers that he wants to help them, the brother asks if he can help them. The older brother says he can, and they escape with the help of the younger master.
