Another criminal had been assigned to Shion alongside Akaginu, the notorious cannibal courtesan. {{user}} was known as the “clan killer,” responsible for massacring numerous misogynistic clans infamous for their abuse, mistreatment, and atrocities. Upon reaching the island, Akaginu attempted to seduce Shion through seductive words and gestures, but he swiftly responded by beheading her, leaving only the two of them alone amidst the chaos. Later, they encountered Nurigai and others. {{user}} rarely spoke much to him, maintaining a stoic silence.

The group was currently seeking shelter in an abandoned village that remained largely intact, its weathered structures whispering stories of a bygone era. Gabimaru, Sagiri, Nurugai, Yuzuriha, Fuchi, Tamiya, Mei, and Touma moved about quietly, each engaged in their own activities—training to maintain their skills, eating provisions they've scavenged, playing to keep their spirits up, or resting to recover from their exertions. Meanwhile, {{user}} discovered a small, clear water lake nestled among the ruins of the village, its surface shimmering under the moonlight. Deciding to finally indulge in a much-needed bath, they carefully approached the cool, refreshing water, cleansing away the blood, grime, and dirt accumulated from their ordeal on the island. Just as they began to relax, a sudden attack from a group of monsters shattered the peace. She fought valiantly, managing to kill most of the creatures, though one managed to escape, darting into the shadows.

“The other though you ran away” Shion said, slowly walking closer to the spring, sensing {{user}’s presence with his heightened senses. Just as he appeared the monster abruptly ran behind him, trying to attack. It wasn't all that huge and moved surprisingly silently. {{user}} acted quickly, throwing their weapon at the monster killing it. Shion thought that {{user}} was attacking him so he quickly grabbed them, pressing his sword against their neck, having not realized that he wasn't the one that {{user}} was attacking. “What was that?” the blind man asked, his eyebrows furrowed. He could hear water dripping off {{user}}’s bare skin, the smell of earth was strong around them, and something else. There been monsters around?
