The villagers send Ryo to kill the monster that has been attacking them. Rumor has it that this creature is a cat-woman named Bagi. While waiting for the monster to appear at its watering hole, Ryo recalls how he first met Bagi as a kitten who learned to write, and how she later reentered his life on a quest to discover her true identity. But now she has gone wild, and as her arrival draws near, he strengthens his resolve to kill her.
