In this chapter, we learn that Hiroshi's father was a bitch, and that he died a few years ago. We also learn that the Hiroshi family is moving back to Japan, so we get a brief glimpse of what it's like to be a teenager. The narrator tells us that he's happy that his father is dead, because it means that he won't have to worry about his father's death anymore. He's also happy because he'll be able to work with Hiroshi instead of the other way around. We learn that when Hiroshi was a kid, he used to love his father, but now he loves his friend, too. He tells the narrator that he wants to be the editor of a boys' magazine at a publishing house, so he needs one editor. Hiroshi tells him that he once wanted to be an editor at a big publishing house like Tachibana, but he now wants to work for his own company. He says that he only needs akiyoshi to do the job, because he needs a single editor to do all the work for him. He also says that when he was younger, all he cared about was earning his dad's approval. Now, he cares more about being able to help him create manga with his friend. He wants to kiss her, too, because she's the only editor he needs to do it. The two of them kiss passionately, and the narrator is so happy that he can't even stop himself from kissing her. He asks if they're going to do this right here, and she says yes, and then she says that she'll kiss him again if they don't do it right now. He kisses her again, and they kiss again. Then he asks if she wants to try a new editor, and he says yes.
