The chapter opens with the narrator's description of the house, which he describes as a "treasure map" . The narrator tells us that he has been planning to move in with the family for the past four years. He has given the house an island for the kitchen and a yard for the garden. He says that he will be able to save up money for the house so that he and his family will have enough to live on. He asks the narrator not to mention that the picture he showed him was of the time of Yujirou. He tells the narrator that the time is not the same as it was when he was a child, but that it is the "treasure of my heart" and "the treasure of my family." The narrator promises to take care of the prince. He also tells the story of how his grandmother always liked men who had dark hair, like his grandfather and his father. When the narrator tries to stop thinking about the prince, he is interrupted by the sound of a flap in the hallway. He apologizes for not noticing the flap, and the narrator thanks him for his efforts.
