Chapter 132

First Encounter! is the one hundred and thirty-second chapter of the Black Cat manga and the first chapter of Volume 15.

Plot
While making his way to the Apostle's castle, Train Heartnet runs into River Zastory and the two carry on walking together while bickering. River asks Train if he should look for his partners, Eve and Sven Vollfied. Train replies that there is no need as they are all going to the same place, Creed Diskenth's castle. River then asks him about his history with the Apostles, but the ex-assassin does not wish to talk about it. River respects that and asks him about the flash he used against Shiki and Train decides to tell him since it seems River will not stop until he gets answers.

Unaware to the two, they are seen by Maro. He attacks them and challenges them to fight. As soon as the two take a good look at the Taoist, they burst into laughter at his outfit, much to Maro's anger. Another Taoist, Preta Ghoul, emerges and joins Maro's side.
