It's late at night, and no one has come back yet. The serpent asks why he's sitting with his back to him. He's sorry that he didn't carry out his part of the plan, but he wants to know what's going on with his lady. He asks her if she knows about the plan to kill the man. She probably already knows about it, but she doesn't want to hear about it right away. She asks him if he knows the man, and he tells her that he does. He says that he'll use his name "ai of serpent Hill" , which means "a good looking woman" . He tells her to whisper that he thinks the man was the one who killed them, and she whispers that he was not really scary. She tells him to mutter that she's a "really scary woman" and that he double crossed his thugs with a "cozy look" on his face. She says that it's all just a game, and that she can't be afraid of a pitiful woman, because she is the one that is afraid. She also tells him that he can come with them if he wants, and they can call her "lady ai" from now on. She'll call him "suzumori" and he will call her a "lady." The serpent says that this is all going to be "fun," and he wants everyone to know who's "the real buffoon."
