This chapter's epigraph comes from the opening lines of Act IV, Scene 1 of the play. It's a quote from the play's opening lines: "The meaning of this / . . is that . you promised you would not harm negi / whoosh this is not anything bad" . This is a reference to the fact that both parties agreed not to harm each other in the previous chapter. This time, however, it's clear that the two sides have agreed to do so. The scene opens with setsuna and kaede running into each other. They're talking about the agreement they made before the match to keep each other out of each other's service. They don't want to hurt each other, but they're worried that setsuna is too confident. They want to know why he brought the two of them to the fight, and why he didn't tell them what was going to happen. He tells them that he's going to use his latest military power to get rid of them. He's not going to let them get away with it. He wants to make sure that they don' t get too far ahead of him. He also wants to figure out a way to get them out of the way so that he doesn't have to worry about them getting away. He says he'll figure it out for himself. He grabs a piece of paper and keeps it as a memento of the fight. He figures that if he keeps it, they'll all be able to see what happened. He knows that he can't keep it for himself, but he can use it to keep the other two away from him
