Enjin attacks Yae driving her back, eventually landing a stab on her, cutting her across the chest and cutting her stuffed bear head. Enjin states it is youkai that can stand against gods. Yae gains the upper hand on Enjin, being completely uninjured from his attack and replies stating only gods can compete with gods. Enjin is able to cut a cable causing himself to fall downwards and escapes. Enjin points out her weakness of being confined to the town and escapes past the town limits.
