The chapter opens with a description of the island of lindel, which is blessed by a sea goddess. The narrator explains that he thought his mother was the daughter of a baron in the island, but this is not the case. He tells the story of how the island was destroyed during the civil war, but the beauty of the place soothes his soul. He is relieved that Asbert has shown interest in Charlotte, but he worries that if Asbert loses interest, he will break her heart. He asks the innkeeper if it is okay for him to dip his feet in the sea water. The innkeeper tells him that it is nighttime, and that he can dip his toes in too. He feels dizzy in the water and wonders if he has seen the light before. He wonders if there is an island in the game called claire, which treats the romance targets like children. He also wonders if his mother is from the island. He thinks that people who buy the fan book will be able to create new scenarios for the romances. He then wonders if the aurora that appeared at his ceremony was the same one that appeared in the book. He says that when people have no connection to a place, they receive only weak magic. He wants to stay in an inn while he looks for work, but first he needs to find a job.
