This chapter's epigraph comes from a conversation between the Governess and the monk. The Governess tells the monk that he has come to deliver a message to the senior of the temple, and that he should go after the fugitive. The monk says that he knows where the message is, and he's sure that it's at the senior's house. He's also sure that there's a lot of money in the house, which is why the monk wants to find it. He says that the monk is a smart kid, so he doesn't need to worry about him too much.
