In this chapter, we learn that the ship is in a greater cluster than the previous one, and that the seven satellites orbit around the star. The ship has already begun its voyage to the new gas planet, nine, which is farther out into the system than the seven planets orbited around it. Tsumugi, however, is worried about the safety of the ship and wonders if there might be an accident during the voyage. She wonders if the ship will be able to withstand the reverse thrust of the new planet, and she wonders if it will be allowed to go through with the voyage even if there is an accident. Tanikaze, one of the students, is also worried about his leg, and he wonders if he has to leave his room. He wonders if they can meet more often, and they agree to do so.
