This chapter's epigraph comes from the opening lines of the novel, "Swish Hold on, Father! Your Majesty!" . It's a quote from the novel's opening lines, in which the narrator says that he's learned that the fox king is beautiful, and that all women are like trash. He wants to kill him, but he can't because he'll be in the same vein as entering the "dragon vein" . He's afraid that if he kills the king first, the dungeon will be ruined, and he won't have time to kill the other king. He also worries that killing the king early will make the dungeon even more dangerous, since the king will be protected by the other guards. Finally, the narrator decides that he needs to complete the story if he wants to leave the dungeon. He asks the guards if he can just skip the target selection, but the guards tell him that once he becomes a part of the dungeon, he must choose a new identity. This means that he can choose Daji as he wishes, even if he doesn't like him. The narrator is still addicted to Daji's body, and even though he has chosen Daji, he still feels that he has to finish the story. He wishes that he could just kill the king, because it would be much more satisfying. He tells the guards to stop treating him coldly, and to treat him nicely. He promises to treat his concubine like a princess. He says that Daji is from the "sexy fox clan," and that under his coldhearted expression, he exposes their sex
