Hamel
Inn
In the town of Hamel (named only in anime), Clare searches for Lucky. She checks in at a local inn. From up in her room, she watches the Zakol Hunt leaving town.
Despite Clare's Yoki Suppressant, the hunt leader (Jean) detects Clare's presence. But Jean shrugs it off as her imagination.
Next morning
Clare gets up early. The innkeeper tells her the Claymores left for the Zakol Mountains. Clare resumes her search before they return.
In town, she comes across two children arguing about a Teresa and Clare statue. The young girl tells Clare that someone, fitting the description of Lucky, asked about the statue. But a fatally wounded, unnamed warrior staggers into town. As she falls, Clare catches her.
The warrior tells Clare that the hunt was captured. Before she dies, she realizes Clare is a sister warrior.
Back to duty
Clare asks the townspeople to give the warrior a human burial. When a man warns against going to the mountains, Clare sheds her disguise.
