This chapter opens with the entrance of a new character named taro. He is the one who will be overseeing the seal's strength-ening. He introduces himself as "taro maeda" and says that he is just a "simple recruit" . He apologizes for being rude to his assistant, Momoko. He says that the young woman beside him is "totally infatuated with me" and asks if he should keep a closer eye on her. He also tells Tanaka that he has a gift for her, a fashionable helmet that will suppress her demon aura. Tanaka tells him that he will need to cast the seal and assimilate the energies of the natural energies in the spell circle to create the seal. He tells taro that he accidentally opened the book while he was reading it, but that if he opens it again, he will be able to read it. He then asks about the preparations for the soul-stealer formation, which he says is the only remaining jewel.
