The monster tells the boy that he is bound to him, and that the bamboo hut has caused him "irreparable damage" . The monster asks the boy what he is talking about, and the boy says that he wants to see the reaction of the demon. He wants to know if the demon cut off his hand, but the monster says that it is nothing, and he will test the boy on his homework the next day. The next time the monster uses the injury curse, he will only use the memories of the other person he saw grow, and not the memory of the person he witnessed grow. He says that the sword tassel on his sword is an antique that he wanted to change, but he didn't think the boy would remember it. The boy says he is leaving the mountain, and when he realizes that his robe has been ripped, he mumbles that he has another one.
