In this chapter, we meet Hiroaki Samura, the protagonist of Chapter 70 of Tommo's novel, and the host of a late-night talk show on a Japanese-language radio station. Hiroaki and his guest, the director of the show, are discussing the novel, which is not as good as it seems. The two men discuss a magazine called "Radio Noah," which, according to Hiroaki, "is an interest-ing read" . He also mentions that he has spoken to the editor of the magazine, who tells him that he will soon become the "woman of culture" , a title he has always dreamed of. The interview is interrupted by the sound of a wave, and Hiroaki apologizes for his rudeness. He tells his guest that the chapter is not what he thinks it is, and that he hopes that the director and the protagonist will come up with a better title for the novel. The conversation moves to the topic of Hiroaki's interview with the director, who has "no regard for human beings" and has "lawless actions." The interview ends with Hiroaki thanking his guest for agreeing to meet him on this short notice.
