Ashidaka and her men prepare to attack, the mermaid tells them that they must first destroy the centipede's stomach. She says that if they do so, they will be able to take it apart and destroy the rest of its body. She tells the men that they will have to take care of her father for her, since he tried to destroy the world they tried to live in. The centipedes, she says, will not give up until they are done eating the flesh of the mermaid. The mermaid says that she did not come here to implant the click, but to let the men do what they promised. The bastard told her that he would not let anyone die, but he wound up lying to her. She forgives the bastard and tells him that it is the birthday of the town, and that it will be hard for the multi-armed creatures to defeat the single-armed ones. She asks the men to lend her a hand in the battle, and they say that they are filling a centuries-old gap between single-bodied and multi-bodied creatures
