The narrator begins this chapter by saying that he devotes his youth to the shizuka episode. He says that he went to him because he was the only one he could see. The narrator says that the people around him felt better because they knew that the narrator was special. He adds that since then, things have unfolded in a way he did not expect. He tells the narrator that he was out of his expectations, but that since he is special, he has to be a manager. He asks the narrator how many miles he made the runners run, and the narrator tells him that they all ran in the middle of the course because they thought he was "dumped" by the "previous manag" . He also says that since the narrator is experienced, he does not have any complaints since he has been the manager of the school's track and field team for two years.
