In this chapter, we are told that no matter who is on your side, there is no one who can teach you anything. In fact, the reciter and the man who taught you are the only ones who can stand up and thank you. The reciter says that he cannot stand to thank the man because he is the one who taught him. The master and queen challengers will be announced at the end of the chapter. The chatter will begin at ten minutes, and all four challengers are asked to line up by then. We learn that the winner of each round will be presented with a prize, and that the prize will be a scarf. The man who won the first round is asked to borrow the scarf from the master, but he refuses, saying that he will give it to the master for him. In the second round, the man wins by lunging at a Karafuda and getting a otetsuki. He says that this is the first time he has ever been so fixated on a single card. He tells himself that he should not have focused so much on the card, because it was so important to him that he won. He also says that if he had not fought so hard, he would have lost. He asks the chatter why he went to the tournament, and the chatter replies that he went out to fight knowing he would come back with the same card. This is the reason why he lost, he says, because the man said that it was his name. He then tells the chatter that he loves his wife and wants to marry her, but that he plans to go to university in order to study in Japan.
