The old man asks the young man if he's confident that his plan will work. The young man says he doesn't have a plan. He's just trying to get revenge on the people who owe him money. The man says that the holy knights and the tower have never gone out in full force in the past, but this year they are all after something. They might get in their way, but the old man says they won't reach the end of the tournament. He says that it looks like a robot, not a god. He compares the holy smoke to a dead flower, and says that if he can't defeat them, they'll retreat. He also says that he has never seen the holy knight's martyr before. He was once a war god but now he is just a boss' dog. He adds that only those who can control the sea can interfere with a god's life or death, without faith. He asks who is waiting for him.
