In this chapter, Shmoop continues his conversation with Ichinomiya. He tells her that when he's reading the previous volumes, he gets "idea" about what to do with the story. He thinks that if he reads the previous books, he'll be able to predict what will happen in the future. He also tells her about a message he received from ikuto, asking him to return to school and live his life as a normal kid. He wants hikaru to go back to school as well, and he wants him to live his childhood as well. Impatiently, she replies that she doesn't need to apologize to him, and that she's already signed the agreement. Ichimina interrupts, asking why he'd be so cold. She says that he has a "nice personality" , and she wonders if this mood is coming on here too. She also asks if he was on the phone with her, and wonders if she'd been on the other end of the line. She wonders if he thinks she'll try to be stupid, like in the picture of fish she ate the other day. She asks him to stop saying that, but he says he knows he likes her more than anyone. He wonders if they'll stick together, like always, if they don't get along. He asks if she looks like a prince, but she says she looks "pletely messed up" . She tells him that she has something to tell him, but that she can't talk to him anymore
