The Difficulty Is To Clear Chapter 6
When aiming to obtain the Cat Ears, the difficult part is the Village part up to Chapter 6. Even if you have the Chicago Sweeper, which is an infinite weapon, you cannot use it til the Castle in Chapter 7. Therefore, it is necessary to complete the Village in a normal way without the bonus weapon.
