The chapter opens in the office of Shuusei, the "perfect boss" , and the narrator asks him how he feels about his mistress, Misono, and whether or not she's free to do whatever she likes. The narrator says that he doesn't have any feelings for her, and that he's worried that she'll do something to upset him. He asks if he feels any special feelings for his mistress. He says that even a "work horse like him" has "some regard for people," and that's why he needs her. He also says that, even though he was so happy when he first arrived at the office, he was worried about him when he got there. He's not sure if this is the case, but he thinks it's likely.
