This chapter opens with a description of paloma city, a big city full of tourists from a market, entertainment facility, and educational institute. It's not surprising, says the narrator, that the city has become a "dream city" for every witch. Five years ago, he says, he was one of those "witches" who were enticed by the stories of his teacher's. He even dared to move to the city just to live there, but he's changed his mind a long time now. He says he doesn't want to get lost. He prefers to go through the bridge. He asks why they didn't take the roundabout way. He's too weird. He knows it's more important to have a prince visit than to have an explosion. He wonders how they can hold the cat. He calls for help. Someone has called the patrol team. They'll arrive soon.
