In this chapter, we learn that the Mashima family is staying at a hotel near Shimokitazawa, which is where the tournament is being held. The Mashimas have been waiting for the arrival of their son, who is a master of the tournament. The tournament is the last one that they will be holding as a family, and the tournament will be held in the same place as the one they have been holding for the past two years. The two players discuss the tournament and the upcoming tournament. They both agree that this is the end of the era of the queen master and the new queen master, and that this tournament will mark the beginning of a new era in the sport of karuta. They all agree that the new tournament will have the same rules as the old one. They also agree that it will be the last time they will play in the tournament as a team.
