The chapter opens with a description of how shiba took over the black dragon's army. He's the eleventh leader, and he's also the leader of the Black Dragon's second division, which means that he has the right to rule the entire territory of the land. . Shmoop introduces us to the narrator , who tells us that this is the same guy who led the black dragons' first division when he was a kid. Shmo, the narrator's younger brother, is now a captain in the second division. He tells us about how his little brother, hak-kai , used to be a leader in the first division, but then he was taken over by a guy named taka-chan , and Shmo says that this guy is like a "real older bro" to him , which is a reference to the fact that takachan is older than Shmo himself . He also tells Shmo about how mitsuya is like an older brother to him, and how he likes to check his cell phone on his way home from work, even though Shmo has a picture of him on it. Shmoo, Shmo's older brother, says that tshiba is just like a friend, and that he'd like Shmo to go home, but Shmoo says that Shmo should go home first, because Shmo is about to be killed in the fight with the other black dragon leaders.
