In this chapter, we learn that the cat monster is planning to take revenge on the humans who helped him escape from the underground river. He's also planning to use the humans as a pawn in his scheme. The cat monster doesn't want to be harmed by the humans, so he's going to use them as a bargaining chip to get what he wants. The plan is to get the man's waist belt and cast spells on him so that he won't be able to catch the cat.
