A man cowers in fear, hiding in a village under siege. Villagers fight the demons attacking the village the best they can. However, they are completely massacred, down to the women and children. A single human combatant manages to get a message out of the village before it completely falls. Later on, Methode and Genau arrive at the ruins of the village after receiving a demon-slaying request from the great mage Serie. They clean up the straggler demons and look for clues about who attacked the village. Genau finds the man who was hiding from the demons, and he comforts him in his dying moments. Genau tells Methode that he knew the man, as the village they are in was his hometown, and that he used to play with the victim as a child. While talking, Genau and Methode realize they are surrounded and prepare to fight. The church they are in is ambushed, but it turns out to be a case of mistaken identity. The duo run into Frieren's party, who also received a similar request from Serie. While investigating the bodies, Genau points out that the victims include members of the Noam Company's private militia, including a warrior who was far superior to Stark. Given that the demons he and Methode killed were small fry, he deduces that the demon who led the attack on his hometown is still alive. He requests that Frieren's party assist him in hunting down the lead demon. The group analyze the attacks and come to the conclusion that the demon that led the attack must have wielded four swords.
