As Atsushi tries to run away, Kunikida grabs him and restrains him, eventually threatening him to pay the meal with his arm or tell them what he know. Dazai intercepts reminding Kunikida that their boss warned Kunikida that gathering of intelligence doesn't need to be an interrogation. Kunikida then lets Atsushi go.

Atsushi proceeds to tell them that the tiger wrecked his orphanage resulting to Atsushi being kicked out due to shortage of money. He then tells them that the tiger has also followed him in the city when he is wandering aroung the Tsurumi River when he sees the tiger. Dazai asks him when this occur to which Atsushi responds that it was four days ago. Kunikida confirms that the attacks began two weeks ago and eyewitness accounts seeing the tiger four days ago. Dazai then offers Atsushi to accompany their tiger hunt in exchange for a payment. Dazai soon gives a note to Kunikida to deliver it to their boss.

Atsushi and Dazai are seen at a warehouse waiting for the tiger to appear. Dazai reassures Atsushi to worry about nothing as he is an armed detective agent. Atsushi envies Dazai for being confident telling that at the orphanage, people have told him he was worthless. He recalls what the orphanage staff have told him and tells that no once cares if he dies in the street, and might as well let the tiger eat him. Dazai just silently listens to him and glances at the moonlight.
