The captain and his search party approach the forest. The captain tells them that the forest has not changed much in the past few years, but that there are still a lot of people missing. He says that he will kill the ghost or monster if it shows up. He tells the captain that he hopes the young master grows up quickly, so that he can retire peacefully. He thinks that the young man has lost his touch with women, and that he is getting seduced by one of the nuns in the monastery. He wonders if the girl is pregnant with another man's child, and the captain says that she acts as if she is pregnant when she is. He asks the captain if they have found a good place to camp, and he says that they have. He then asks if they can exchange the estate with a nearby mansion. He explains that if the mansion is big enough, people will live there. They head deeper into the forest, and they see something that looks like a "wild beast" torn apart piece by piece. They don't want to tell the baron, who is getting tired, so they wait a bit longer. They find a large rock and turn right there. It will take a bit, but they are right there, and there is a big mansion at that.
