The chapter opens with a conversation between Hirokazu and his friend, Ken. The two men are discussing Ken's upcoming wrestling match, which is scheduled to take place in six weeks' time. Ken tells his friend that he has lost six pounds in the past six weeks, and that he is working hard to get back to his pre-match weight. He tells Ken that his wife, Miura, has been eating too much and that she looks like a "gorilla" . Ken asks if Miura eats as much as he does, to which Ken replies that he does. He then asks if his sister makes for him, and she replies that she does, but that she eats more than he does because she is "on a cut." Ken tells him that Miura is learning to adapt to his new diet, and he tells him to eat more vegetables and less meat, as he is not strong enough to take on a wrestler. He also tells Ken to practice his wrestling moves if he is going to fight. He asks if he should buy a lunch box for Miura so that she can give him something in return, and Ken says that he would like to buy her something, but he does not remember what it is.
