Tachibana and Jinguuji have managed to destroy the bandits' hideout, but the resulting fire has destroyed the elven forest. Seeing that their forest has been burned to the ground, the elven Premier, Rue, flies into a rage.

Driven to jealousy by Tachibana's beauty, Rue attacks Tachibana and Jinguuji, intending to kill them. But it proves utterly ineffective against Jinguuji...

In a strange village where the people worship a giant squid as a god, Jinguuji searches for Tachibana, who has been abducted to become a sacrifice, and catches sight of Rue, the elven Premier, who had also been a candidate for the sacrifice. Jinguuji forms an agreement with Rue for the purposes of defeating the giant squid with its demands for beautiful maidens, and suggests a bold plan to accomplish the feat.
