The narrator tells us that the secret of this chapter is that he was supposed to be dead by the time he was ten years old. This means that he and Kishibi will be strong together. The narrator says that the case of headless bodies has been solved, and he's still not famous. He says that they didn't have any trouble with it. He also says that he saw the ghost of the ink shop when it disappeared, which means that it's not a ghost, but a "hitoban" or a "chinese spirit." The narrator then says that this is the closest thing to a "dangerous time" yet.
