In this chapter, the narrator complains about his inability to get married. He says that he has had enough of his fiancee, Akai, and that she is the worst person he has ever met. He tells Akai that he is not worthy of being her partner. He also tells her that she should have told him that she was superior to him. Akai tells the narrator that the new guy in the office is handsome, but that everyone around him is like that. She also tells him that he should take her production conditions into account. The narrator complains that she has a problem that she puts the client in the first place. She says that Akai gives her the impression of being a capable person. He asks if something happened to him, and she says that she just got hot water on her hand. He apologizes for being "meddlesome" and says that it is a bad habit.
