The chapter opens with a discussion of the upcoming literary festival, which is to be held in Shimokitae, a city in northeastern Japan. The group is planning to sell an anthology of short stories, which will be translated into English and published in the festival's literary section. The chapter's narrator, Fuunikun, asks the group's other members what they would like to include in the anthology, and they all agree that it would be good to include some of their own stories. The narrator then asks the other members about their love lives, and the group is surprised to learn that one of them, a young man named Tomoyuki, has asked the group to meet him at the festival. The young man is from a family of Japanese immigrants, and he has never had a proper date in his life, so the group decides to tell him that they love him.
