In this chapter, the young woman is described as a "blessed maiden" . The narrator tells us that she has become "a blessed maiden" because she has been able to obtain so much from her sister. He tells her that he is planning on leaving the village for a while, and that she should knock on the door of the neighboring village as soon as she has left. He asks her if she has had lunch already, and she says that she did. He says that he came all the way to see her after he heard that the boy left her, and he asks her to come home as long as her emblem asks. He then asks her about the food she has prepared. She tells him that she always cleans her plate, and when he asks if she is not sure, she replies that she is. She then tells him about the boy's cooking skills, and how he treats her like a "object" , and asks him if he would like to work for her in the forest. He replies that he would, but that it would be better for her to leave the village as quickly as possible
