This section contains spoilers. (Skip Section)

After the Hero recruits Law Hero and Chaos Hero and returns to his house, he is greeted by his mother who is acting very strangely. Realizing the boys aren't falling for it's tricks, it drops the facade and reveals that it is actually Amanojaku disguised as the Hero's mother; the Hero's real mother was killed and eaten by it while he was away. Seeing the Hero's distraught face, Amanojaku cruelly remarks that he will meet his mother again in it's stomach and attacks the party who manage to defeat it.

End of spoilers.
