In this chapter, we learn that Milady has been having an affair with Mr. Watanabe, and that he has been trying to get Milady to marry him. Milady, however, has been avoiding him, and he is afraid that she will be jealous of him. He tries to get her to confess to him, but she refuses, saying that she is too busy with her own affairs to be concerned about him. When Milady asks him why he is avoiding her, he tells her that he does not want her to think that he is neglecting her, but rather that he wants her to know that he cares about her. He then tells her about his plan to go to the theater with her, and Milady agrees to go.
