In this chapter, we find out that Hiroshi and Akiyama are in love. Hiroshi tells us that he's heard a lot about Akayama, but he doesn't like him. He's not angry, he says, and he'd rather have Hiroshi than Akatama. He tells Hiroshi that he saw him and Hiroshi playing tag together the other day, and that he was confused about how they could possibly see things the way they did. He wants Hiroshi to take over, but Hiroshi isn't having it. He says he'll sit her down next to a chair and take her deep breaths. He asks if Hiroshi is still with them, and she says she is. He then asks if she's going to sit in a chair next to him, so he can take her out of the room. She says she'll do that, too. She then asks him if he wants to come out to eat with her tonight. He does, and they eat and then he goes home. He thanks Hiroshi for calling the taxi, and says he likes the fact that he works so hard. He also says that he likes how talkative he is when drunk, because when he sees a person working so hard, he likes that person even more.
