The chapter opens with a description of the scene at the sports center. It is 200m ahead of the center, and the protagonist is walking towards it. He sees a man carrying a "true blue japanese" . The protagonist is confused by the man's accent, and he panics when he realizes that the man is from China. He tries to speak to the man in Chinese, but the man does not recognize him. He tells the protagonist that the dialect of the Chinese is even better than that of the Japanese. He asks the protagonist why he does not know a few words in the dialect, and when the protagonist answers that it is because he is into Chinese culture, the protagonist exclaims that he is "into chinese culture" and that his dialect is "even better than his japanese." The protagonist explains that the old man has been fined and sentenced to three years in prison for his part in the sect's failure to ascend. He also explains that he would have liked to see his old friend wailing at his grave. He says that the elder from the sect came to investigate the cause of the failure and scolded the master for his lack of skills. The elder threw the master directly into confinement, saying that he was too busy cleaning up after the children to do it himself. He then told the master that he should figure out the problem on his own, and that the master did not need to act out the matter
