This chapter opens with a flashback to a time seven years ago, when the protagonist was a senior in high school. He tells the audience that he was humiliated by his "mortal enemy," Tokuyama, who stole his first kiss. He says that he has been bottling up his emotions, like a "disgrace" , and that it is no coincidence that he is a virgin. The protagonist then tells us that he now serves as the leader of the clan, which means that he and his clanmates love him. He also tells us about the recent financial troubles of Tokatama, who has stopped coming to the clan gatherings. He adds that if the protagonist doesn't trust him, then there is no team.
