This chapter opens with a conversation between the shop owner and his assistant. The shop owner tells the assistant that he is looking for a new personal stylist. The assistant replies that she is still an assistant, but she is too new to be a personal stylist, and that she will be able to learn a lot from him. He tells her that the shop does not do personal things like this, so they will have to ask Mr. Narita for permission to hire her. He says that he will arrange for a fumigator to come and do the job for them
