The chapter opens with a flashback to the events of the previous chapter, in which we learn that the old man, raven tail, had been spying on the guild for seven years. The old man had been a double agent for the guild, so he was able to get all the details about the guild's finances, location, and operating expenses. He also had information about the whereabouts of lumen histoire, but he had never been able to find it. The chapter ends with a description of the battle that is to take place in the next chapter.
