Chapter 03 - Get Square

Get Square is the continuation of Even and Saiyuki 's third chapter.

Summary
The leader of the Dark Spider Clan, now in her giant spider form, continues to shoot webs at the Sanzo-ikkou. Webbing wraps tightly around Hakkai's neck, beginning to strangle him. There is a gunshot, and a bullet pierces one of the spider yokai's eyes, causing her to abort the web attack. The webs loosen and the ikkou are free. Homei's father stands in the doorway, holding the gun that Sanzo had dropped earlier. As Homei and her father embrace, the spider yokai begins to devour her henchman in order to regain her strength. Shocked by this abhorrent act, Homei begins to scream, reiterating her hatred for all yokai. Goku and Gojyo are struck by the spider's limbs and sent flying. Just as the spider is about to attack Homei and her father, Goku intervenes by fending off the attack. The spider yokai accuses Goku, Gojyo, and Hakkai of betraying their own kind, revealing their yokai nature. Homei is stunned by this truth.

As Gojyo and Goku confront the spider, Sanzo prepares his attack. Meanwhile, Hakkai explains to Homei and her father that there is a reason why the yokai are going berserk and that they should never blame race. "I hope you'll never forget. There is nothing meaningful separating us." Sanzo activates the Maten Sutra' s Makai Tenjou attack, greatly incapacitating the spider so that Goku is able to finish off the kill with Nyoi-bo.

At dawn, the ikkou prepare to take their leave of the inn to continue traveling west. . Homei, having realized that she was being o verly prejudiced against all yokai, sends them off with a special packed lunch as both a thank you and an apology.
