Ryo is dispatched by a village to slay the monster that has been terrorizing its residents. Rumors claim this creature is a cat-woman named Bagi. While waiting at her watering hole for her to appear, he reflects on their first encounter—Bagi as a kitten who had learned to write—and how she later came back into his life during a journey to uncover her true nature and origins. But now she has turned feral, and as the moment of her arrival draws near, he steels himself to follow through with killing her.
