Long Summary
A woman walks into the forest looking for coins as she believes it would be hard for her to find any in the town. She reaches an more open area, but then Madoka and his group show up. He realizes she is a collector and gives her a choice: to die or help him find coins. As she chooses neither, Madoka jumps and attacks her.

Clair and Shuichi head deep into the forest. Clair comments that its unlikely they wound meet any people and being this deep they can assume they are monsters. Shuichi wonders what will they do if they indeed meet someone and Clair comments it would be ideal if they attack first before the monster notices them. She knows that Shuichi is against it and comments that they won't last long if they fight every person they meet. They also need information on how many collectors are and were the coins were found. She also tells him that he needs to transform immediately if they meet a monster as they don't know if its evil or not and need to protect their real identity. As they go, Shuichi smells someone commenting its in about 200 meters and Clair take her clothes and enters Shuichi. They go and face the monster and seeing it upclose, Shuichi realizes how scary that one is. The man comments that this is the first time an enemy approached him, as usually upon seeing him, they run. Clair says that she isn't an enemy and just want to talk, but the man tell her he doesn't really know much about the coins as he isn't there for the coins. He explains that he wanted strength from the Alien, but as he became too strong, normal humans were no match for him, so he came here wanting to know how strong he is. As he approaches, Shuichi tries to punch him, but he blocks and comments that a normal human would have died from that. Clair then takes over and manages to land a hit, but it didn't had any effect. She tells him that its obvious he is strong and that she isn't collecting the coins with particular goal, but to prevent someone dangerous obtaining them. The man then wonders how can she prove that she isn't one of those dangerous ones. Clair then takes out Shuichi's gun and shoots, but the man blocks it, stating that he now knows he can block bullets and realizing this wasn't a normal gun, if he didn't block it properly he would have died. As thanks for aiming to kill him, he undoes his transformation and introduces himself as Tadanori Sanbe. Tadanori then prepares for an attack and comments that he learned variety of martial arts, but as they were not fit for his body, he had to come up with his own martial arts. He bends backwards and then unleashes and attack, cutting the ground, but giving Shuichi a chance to escape.

Tadanori goes to look out for Clair, but then Shuichi comes and grabs him. He guesses that Clair wants to measure her strength again and feels disappointed. Tadanori prepares to kill Shuichi, but then Clair appears behind him pointing the gun. Tadanori then wonders who the woman is and realizes its the same voice he heard from the monster. Tadanori is impressed how the table had turned and realizes he won't be able to shake off Shuichi, before she fatally shoots him. He wonders if Shuichi is a doll that she controls, but then Shuichi tells him to admit defeat which makes Tadanori realizes they are two. Tadanori realizes that if Clair is normal girl and she shoots that powerful gun, it may kill her. Seeing her eyes, he realizes she is determined to do so and admits defeat and undoes his transformation.

Tadanori then states that they put their lives on the line and as he lost, he tells them to kill him, but Clair states she gains nothing for killing him. She tells him to give her his phone, but Tadanori states he doesn't have one as it isn't manly. Another monster then appears, Sudo, and he also wants their names and addresses. He tells them to not run as he had taken picture of them. Sudo tells them that they are his slaves from now on, but Tadanori then stands up and transforms, stating that Sudo is obviously low-life scum and kills him in an instant, stating he has no regrets doing so. Clair starts to laugh, saying that Tadanori was so powerful, she got scared for a moment thinking all monsters were powerful as him. Clair tells him he needs to help them find coins and that way he will have more chances testing his strength, which Tadanori accepts. Tadanori wonders whats they relationship and Shuichi explains that he turns into a costume and she enters inside of him. He then asks if it was her idea to split, but Clair says it was Shuichi's idea as he told her to ran away, while he becomes the bait. Hearing that Tadanori states that Shuichi is a real man and decides to join them.
