In this chapter, a young girl named amane tells us that she's excited for her father's sleepover. She's also excited about her friends' sleepover, but she doesn't want her family to be at the party since they're all going to school that day. Amane is excited about the sleepover, too, because she wants to play with her friend, ao, who's going to be playing "sofi" with her dad. Ao's dad is going to work that day, so she'll be able to chat with him alone. A little later, Amane asks her friend if she can play with him tomorrow. She tells her that she can, and Ao is psyched to have her friend. A lot of Amane's friends are going to the sleepover party, but Amane isn't one of them. She wants to be alone with Ao, so Ao tells her to get out of the house so she can talk to her friend alone. She also tells Ao that Ao will be playing shogi with her tomorrow, and that's cool because Ao can play the game any time she wants. Aloud, Ao! Aloud!
