The narrator muses on the idea of making love-making rice balls. He tries to wrap them in a piece of cardboard, but they don't fit the shape. He asks his relative, the editor, to come with him. The relative is a student, and the editor is a relative of the narrator's sister. The narrator tries to think of a way to use the student as a model, but he can't think of anything to use him for. He decides to go with a pose that he's always wanted to experiment with. The student's pose is awkward, but the narrator thinks it's funny. He suggests using more natural poses. The editor is impressed by the new pose and suggests that the narrator wear his own clothes next.
