Synopsis
Holding Ibuki's corpse and begging him to open his eyes and not die, Louis asks Free why he killed Ibuki. Free observes Ibuki's inert face and claims that he has a nice and calm dead face, which would not come from an inhabitant of the underworld. Free mentions that Ibuki sure wanted his life to end like this and alleges that he does not regret shooting him as he did as he promised.

In the past, Ibuki hands Free a bullet to shoot him as there is a small chance that he will lose control and try to eat Louis. If the situation occurs where Ibuki sees Louis as just an ordinary deer, Free should not hesitate to shoot him, and that he can make it his top priority while Ibuki focuses on protecting Louis from everything else. Free alleges that the job gets harder every day, working for a deer and can't say he's as ready as ibuki is. Ibuki mentions that it's not bad preparing for the future that lies ahead, and they will live bigger than they had ever dreamed of with Louis on their side.

Being aware of everything, Louis alleges that Ibuki never planned on eating him, and only drove him here because he told him that he wants to leave the Shishigumi and says that it is all his fault. Free tells Louis that Ibuki is pretty clumsy in some ways and is inflexible. Free claims that he is sure that in the end Ibuki had no other choice but to pit himself against Louis as a lion of the Shishigumi. They arrive at their destination and Free guides Louis to an alley that will take him to the main street, and asks him to never return to the Black Market since if he gets himself killed in the market, then Ibuki would have died for nothing. Free tells Louis to go and live life where he belongs, and tells him that if he ever sees him here again, he will eat him alive. Louis responds that it is a promise and exits the market, while Free mentions that it was fun while it lasted.

In their battle, Legoshi is immobilized by Riz who bites his stomach strongly. Riz mentions that his bones are a little too hard and asks if he ate someone too. Legoshi tells Riz that he would not understand and tells him that there is only one thing everyone needs, respect for life. Remembering the words of that moth larva that ate, claiming that the only way in which living beings respect and understand each other is to become one with one's flesh and blood. Suddenly, Riz is surprised to visualize Legoshi's figure as a swarm of moths. Legoshi tells him that he will share his fate as a strong life form and knocks Riz down with a heavy punch. Holding Riz down, Legoshi is left exhausted until Riz tells him that he makes it sound like he and Tem didn't respect or understand each other, while tightly squeezing Legoshi's arm and lifting him up. Riz tells him that while Legoshi has been training, in the end it's really nothing special, and alleges that any more slander against his genuine friendship with Tem is unacceptable and that there will be no more talking. Legoshi yells at Riz that Tem is his victim and that he ruined everything. Remembering Tem, Riz angrily claims that he is fine and proceeds to definitively silence Legoshi by whipping him to the ground. Louis who approaches the place hears the noise of the blow, and after a subsequent silence runs towards the place.
