Azumi, the Serpent Undead, finds Hajime and fights him with the help of the Tortoise Undead. Garren and Blade show up to help as Chalice staggers away. Having lost his memory, Hajime encounters Ryo Mikami, a takoyaki vendor that looks like him. After the vendor shakes off his initial shock, Tyo proposes that the two trade identities in order to avoid a life he feels is too difficult. Posing as Hajime, Ryo is found by Amane and taken back to Kazuma and the others. Meanwhile, Hajime begins to blend into Ryo's life.
