In this chapter, we learn that the shop is a "club" where men and women exchange partners in order to have some fun. The shop's manager, Hiroshi, and his assistant, sakimura, are in the middle of a sex game when Hiroshi notices that the two men are smiling at each other. Hiroshi is surprised at the change in the men's demeanor, and he tries to make them feel better by making them rub their hands together in a "hot" and "irritating" manner. .
