In this chapter, we learn that Chito is on his way to a new town, and that he is accompanied by a familiar, who has come to help him find his way home. The familiar tells Chito to go first, and Chito agrees to do so. Chito and the familiar go for a walk, and when they arrive at the house of the familiar, they find that the familiar has locked himself in the house and is not allowed to leave. When the familiar asks Chito if he is a witch, Chito tells him that he was once a friend of a witch's who had a black cat, but that he moved to the new town when he got married and hasn't seen the witch since. When he returns to the house, he finds that he has been chased by the dog for the very first time in his life.
