The village chief explains that a strange scarecrow-demon has appeared, and that it is still unknown where the demon abducted the girl. The chief tells the villagers that he has a special skill: he can drive ghosts and eliminate demons. He tells them that the reward for catching the demon is theirs. The scarecrow demon is very sturdy and looks like an adult. He says that he will chase the demon, but that he fears that it will be difficult to find. He asks the great deity if he has the ability to open inter-space portals. The great deity says that the ability of a human to befriend a demon is rare. He orders the village chief to kill the demon. The demon says that it has been a long time since he descended the mountain, and he asks the chief how he can treat the girl like this. He suggests that he give her some roasted sweet potatoes.
