The narrator comments on the fact that the two girls, Mashima and Chihaya, are about to fight for the honor of being the best player in Japan. He wonders why they're there, and wonders what kind of punishment they'll get for breaking the rules. The two girls are playing against each other, and the crowd is so big that they have to shuffle the cards to keep up with each other. The narrator wonders if the girls will be able to keep their wits about them, since they've already memorized the cards. He compares the girls to meat buns, and says that they should try to memorize the cards first, then forget them. He thinks that the girls are too easily intimidated by the other girls, and he wonders if it's because they don't have the stamina to play a full round of cards. They're too easy on one another, he thinks, and it'll be hard for them to win. He says that he's going to go out and wait for his chance, and that he thinks he can be a good team player.
