The chapter opens with a description of the situation. The group is already on the outskirts of the forest, but there is no sign of any of the members of the assassin guild. They should go to the territory of the ya-jin clan, which is near the death range. The headquarters of the Red Hurricane Clan mercenary guild is there, and the group can also visit the brothers. The two men decide to go first to the northeast territory, where they can meet the brothers and find out more about their lives. They decide to walk faster than they can walk, but they can't because they're magicians. They're not strong enough to walk on their own, and they have to eat along the way. The men decide that they should carry each other on their backs. This way, they'll be able to see the surrounding landscape better, and it won't be so stressful.
