Leno Ichikawa, a young man who joins the Professional Kaiju Cleaner Corporation, reminds Kafka of his own time of recruitment. Leno reminds him of his childhood dream of being a Kaiju fighter. Time passes, and after a series of events, Kafka talks with Leno. During this time, a small parasite-type kaiju enters the mouth of Kafka and turns him into something like a humanoid monster.
