The needle of the record player drops and begins to glide slowly.
The hidden speakers somewhere start playing Bach's "Fugue," with music full of emotion, alternating in rhythm.
In the flickering candlelight, Kawashima Miki walks back and sits beside him.

"At that time, I had only just become conscious for a short while, still a little spider unable to transform into human form." Kawashima Miki gazes at the candlelight, sipping wine, reminiscing about that time, "A person claiming to be a Divine Envoy appeared before me, teaching me how to cultivate, how to quickly take human form."
"Someone from the organization?"
"Yes, don't ask, even if you do, I can't say. Anyway, as far as I know, that's about it. I and nine other monsters are numbers one to ten, and the Divine Envoy is our only superior."
"When you find him, I'll help you kill him."
"Thank you." Kawashima Miki said, with a gentle smile.
