After a month of cultivating, the monster wonders why he hasn't made any progress. Even though he's been using the same techniques he used in his past life, he still doesn't seem to be making any progress at all. He's not sure why, but he suspects it's because his soul and body haven't yet matured. He tries to distance himself from his past, but it'll only make things worse. He notices that the fox is doing the same pose again, and he can't stop thinking about how cute it is that she's doing it. If he ignores her, he'll just leave on his own, he thinks.
