Back at the festival, the publisher gushes over the success of the publication. He's happy to see that everyone's been a part of it, and he's even more happy that he didn't have to write a story for it. He tells us that he'll be there if anyone needs anything. The publisher tells him that he should be more careful about getting caught, since he never knows when someone's going to catch him. He also tells him to be careful with the miniskirts, since they're going to attract a lot of people. The festival is almost open, and the publisher says that they've sold 53 copies of the book in the first day. He says that this is a great opportunity for people to "casually get into literature" . He wonders if sen-sei is there yet, since she's wearing a denim jacket that she wore the day before.
