During a fishing trip with Mana, Yuta remembers the year 1600 when he was 120 years old. He recalls Natsume, an apparently 12-year-old immortal girl working with an old man named Pa who sells fake mermaid flesh. An itinerant monk attacks Natsume, severing her left arm, which Pa reattaches. The monk later reveals he resurrected Natsume using mermaid liver to serve Pa, but decides to end her life because she requires fresh liver to survive. Pa escapes with Natsume, and Yuta offers to take her in. However, the monk attacks Natsume and removes the mermaid liver. Upon seeing this, Pa picks her up and jumps off a cliff. Yuta finds Natsume alive at the bottom, but she dies in his arms and turns back into bones.
