In this chapter, the narrator comments on the strength of Kishida's team. He notes that Kishida is stronger than ever, even better than she was last year. She has accurate ears and knows exactly where her cards are placed. She is also playing waver waver, which means that she is playing against two opponents at once. The narrator notes that he is testing himself by playing against these two opponents. He says that he has always wanted to win the queen, but he has never been able to do so.
