In this chapter, we are introduced to a new character, a cat named Akane. Akane is a servant who loves his master and devotes himself to his master. The cat's name is Akane, which means "to love" or "to be loved" in Japanese. He tells us that he loves the master because he is devoted to him. He explains that the master is a ship and the servant a ship. He says that the two ships are "opo ships" , meaning "opposites short for ship" . When one ship is "opposite" of another ship, it means that the ship is in danger of being overtaken by another ship. When Akane says that he is going to buy some merch for the princess, he is interrupted by the sound of a ship's engines. He asks the other men not to talk to the princess because he wants to buy her some merch. The other men say that they do not want to help out their rivals, but Akane tells them that they are all here together and that they should have fun talking about the armor and the love between the cat and the master.
