October 7th.

Haruto: Dark moon five!

Bakusei throws punches at Haruto as he dodges. Haruto grabs his sword and the knife gifted to him as he slashes Bakusei's leg.

Bakusei: Hm? I can't move?

Haruto runs down stairs and leaves money at the counter.

Haruto: Keep the change!

Bakusei: Oh well.

Bakusei blasts his own leg off as it regrows instantly.

Haruto runs out into the streets and starts running for the forest as Bakusei drops right in front of him.

Bakusei: You'll be coming with me, child of the crimson wind.

Haruto: Sorry, not today!

Haruto cuts at Bakusei with both his sword and the knife.

Bakusei: Once again. I can't move. Is this a poison?

Haruto runs deeper into the woods as Bakusei is able to move again.

Bakusei: About eight seconds. I see

Haruto continues to run as Bakusei quickly catches up.

Bakusei: You can run but you can't hide!

Haruto: Just go away already!

Haruto stabs him multiple times with the poisoned knife as he runs again.

Bakusei: Another eight seconds. I see.

Bakusei jumps straight for Haruto as Haruto dodges and slashes at Bakusei's waist, then slashes him in the chest and stabs him in the forehead with the knife as Haruto runs.

Haruto: Why can't he leave me alone already?

Bakusei: Six, seven, eight...

Bakusei still can't move.

Bakusei: Hm? What's this?

Bakusei finally moves after thirteen seconds.

Bakusei: thirteen seconds. I see, I should get out of here before I get poisoned beyond the amount I'd like to be.

Haruto continues running as far as he can go.

Haruto: Any second now, he'll be returning.

Haruto continues running as he doesn't encounter Bakusei.

Haruto: Huh? I don't feel his presence anymore...

Haruto walks down the woods some more.

Haruto: Did he disappear?

Odataki travels through some part of mid land japan during his training.

Odataki: I'm so exhausted. I feel like I could just... No! Stay awake Odataki!

Odataki is walking along a dirt road near large fields of crops.

Odataki: Maybe for a bit... Just a small rest... NO!

He keeps on walking on the dirt road but collapses shortly.

???: Hello?

Odataki's sleeping peacefully as a finger pokes his cheek
