In this chapter, we learn that the tao system does not allow its members to contact each other if something does not happen. In other words, if something happens to the protagonist, he has found a replacement to replace him. The protagonist tells us that he has made an appointment to buy a savings package from a friend. He asks the friend if he is the one who is going to buy something. The friend replies that he is not, and the protagonist asks him which purple lipsticks would a girl like the most. He also asks if there is any difference between the purple lipsticks and the ones that the girl buys him. He then asks if he can distinguish between "tiga, dyna, and gaia." The protagonist then asks for a "sexy max swimsuit." The friend tells him that it can "enhance your charm," and that the effect varies depending on person to person. He tells the protagonist that he would not wear such a thing if he died. He goes on to ask if the drowning elf ball is reliable, and if the protagonist would believe it if his father drowned the elf ball. When the protagonist tells the friend that he cannot surf, the friend says that the board is just like a board if it can't be surfed, and that he still doesn't believe that common sense makes sense. He continues to ask the friend about his "volleyball," and when the protagonist says that he hasn't seen it yet, the protagonist exclaims that his heart can find him.
