The "tree spirit" explains that he was out walking the next day when he saw the "other wight meat" splash through the fence. He called the police, who determined that the death was caused by the brain damage caused by a beam of steel. The woman who checked in on him three days ago told him that the girl was that idol, and that he should not fail to thank her for her kindness. She also informed him that she would personally take charge of any charges he had not incurred for eating or drinking at the family park restaurant. The tree spirit explains that the woman is currently at a family restaurant about two miles away and that she has ordered him to meet her there. She has instructed him to learn the details of the death of "the human on whose existence she was predicated" and to explain why upon his meeting with her. The food at the park is good, and the "steel lady Nanase" has appeared. He explains that eating the flesh of the mermaid can bestow the "power of prophecy" . In ancient times, it was a custom to eat the heart of a general or leader who had defeated them in battle. Some of them had violent reactions to it, and some died almost immediately. He adds that eating mermaid flesh can give the "supernatural ability" of prophecy. He says that he has been experimenting with this for many years. He would buy the body of the dead and feed it back to the family members. When he was revived, he could "divine again" , which is why he began to eat mermaid flesh. Only a few remained, and they were all suffering. He asks if there is anything wrong with her, and she replies that she had kept her dream alive. He then asks if the weather is bad. She replies that it is, and he asks if he can go to his house to find out what is going on. He decides to go to the park instead.
