Kotoko receives a request for help from a giant snake, who is the guardian spirit of Tsukuna Swamp. It appears that a murderer named Tanio Aoi disposed of a body in the snake’s swamp, but there’s something that’s just not sitting right with the snake. After learning about Kuro’s powers, Kotoko asks Kuro to accompany her on this journey, but Kuro declines for a certain reason...
Nay! Even if I had found the body, 
there was no guarantee that I'd eat it.
.لا! حتى وإن وجدت الجثة، فلا شيء يضمن أني سآكلها
Quatsch! Selbst wenn ich sie finde,
heißt das noch nicht, dass ich sie auch fresse.
¡No! Aunque lo hiciera,
no era seguro que me lo comiera.
¡No! Aunque lo hiciera,
no era seguro que me lo comiera.
Non !
Je ne l’aurais pas forcément mangé !
No! Non è detto che avrei divorato il cadavere,
se pure lo avessi trovato.
Não! Mesmo que eu encontrasse o corpo,
não havia garantia que eu o comeria.
Нет же! Пусть я бы и нашла тело,
кто знает, стала бы есть?
