In this chapter, the narrator explains that demis exist in the real world, but that they aren't merely imaginary. They exist as human beings. They're just like the other demis in that they're elusive and elusive. The narrator tells us that he's heard a lot of thanks from people for helping him carry the demis around in his life. He also says that it's rare to meet a demi at school. He tells us, however, that he has a crush on a student named Tetahashi sensei. He wants to know why he and her friend want to be grown up, but he doesn't know how. He says that he wants to be a "good match" for her, but she's too childish. He asks her why she wants to look like a cool grown-up woman, and she says that she looks like she has tons of "love experience" . He then asks her what it means to be "grown-up" from a child's perspective. She says that being grown up is like being a "fave" or a "front" , and that she'd like to be more "grown up" with her friend. She adds that she and takahashi both look like grown-ups, but they differ in their ages. She also tells the narrator that even though they are different ages, they both have grown up. She tells him that she can't keep her hair from growing long, because it gets "hard to hold," but that she thinks she'll keep it forever.
