Seeing the animal Suran is reminded of a story he had read in a book and the two friends start to dig out the truth of what he had heard. Getting together with a young novice monk in the temple the two friends find books that mention about a supernatural power that can be obtained using the tears of loris. With the help of the monk they prepare the application which could be used to see the guardian devil of bulls.
