Colio and his companions, Relia Bookwart and Hyoue Jyanfus, find themselves at the Toatt Mine still searching for Hamyuts. However, it is not long before Luimon Mahaton, a local Armed Librarian, discovers that the three are Human Bombs. In the ensuing confusion Hyoue detonates, killing Luimon as a result. The next day, Hamyuts, along with Mattalast Ballory and Mirepoc Finedel, head to the Toatt Mine to search for those responsible. At night, Relia crosses paths with Cigal Kulkesa, one of the 'True Men' of the Shindeki Church, at a bar. After being insulted about his kind, Relia detonates himself in an attempt to kill Cigal, but to no avail. The next morning, Colio comes across a girl named Iya Mira in the streets, who is despaired that her lover, Carthello Marshea, was killed when Hyoue had detonated. That night, Hamyuts arrives ashore outside Toatt Mine and starts killing the Meats after her with her sling and rocks at far distances inside the city.
