The chapter opens with a quote from a famous poet. The poet says that April is the "cruellest month" because it is the month of hunting. In this case, it is June. The four brothers have made a camouflage suit and are ready to go on their hunt, but the prey has not yet been found. They wish the four brothers a successful hunt, and they hope that they will be able to find the missing prey. The young master tells the others that he knows the prey will not be found, and that they should not blame him for beating them senseless. He tells them that he knew the prey would be found a few hours after the ambush, and urges them not to mess up their plan. He also tells them to tell him if he is leaving, as he is the one who is being arrested. He reminds them that they saw the young master, and he says that he cannot stand it anymore. He asks if they are going to face-to-face with him. He says that even though the young man is an idiot, now is not the time for them to be leaving, because their bodies were different, and saying goodbye was not a problem. He thinks that the fight that nearly killed them both was due to his arrogance and self-confidence. He blames himself for not knowing his own limits in the past, and says that this one time, his trust in him almost killed him. The world had changed, he says, no matter what, even though he believes in him.
