In this short scene, the two young men discuss the upcoming match between them, which is to take place at the end of the festival. The young men have been practicing their moves all day, but they are still not strong enough to defeat the older man. The older man, who is called "takamichi," asks the younger man if he used to be friends with his father. The younger man replies that they weren't, but that he worked hard to get to know his father better. He says that he is still a failure in his profession as a wizard, and that he wants to be closer to his father and his friends. He adds that he still has a lot of work to do before he can be as good as his father is. The two men agree that the match is too close to call, and they agree that it is time for them to prepare for the fight. They agree that they will fight on the same day as the festival, which means that even if they lose, they will still owe each other a date on the festival's last day. The elder man says that if he loses, he will have to wait until the day after the festival to get a date with his wife. He also says that even though he is stronger, if he wins, he would still owe his wife a date. He tells his father that he will not be able to beat his son if the date is an all-day one, because his wife will not eat him or anything, and she will drain him of all his last drors. The old man agrees that the fight will be too close for him to lose, but he adds that it will be even more difficult if the opponent is stronger than he is. He predicts that the opponent will use chaos to draw in the audience, and he says that this is what will happen to the young man.
