This chapter opens with a conversation between a young woman and a middle-aged man. The woman tells the man that she has just heard that his former wife is now his new wife. The man tells her that she is too young to be his wife, and that he is now a divorcee. The young woman asks the man what he thinks of the news, and the man says that he does not worry about it. He has been seeing the woman he broke off with privately, and it is not something that he can be comfortable with, he says. He asks the woman if she worries about it, and she says that she does not. She tells him that she plans to write a column about the resort town of Kirari Forest, where she hopes to find a husband for herself. She says that the resort is a great place to meet others, and there are many marriage events held there. She asks the young man if there is a future in marriage, and he says that there is no future. He says that if he had a "hidden dark side," he would not get a divorce, but that his customers might think he is greedy, and therefore he should be wary of her.
