The chapter opens with a description of a day off from work for a man named Hiroyuki. Hiroyuki and his friend, Tsumafuji, are on their way to the theater to see a movie when Hiroyuki asks him to stop by and eat some special doughnuts. The man, who is Hiroyuki's friend, is surprised to see that Hiroyuki has eaten the doughnuts. He asks if there are spies in the country, and the man replies that there are, but he doesn't know where they are. The two men decide to go to a nearby store to buy the doughnuts, which are flavored with caramel nuts. Before Hiroyuki leaves, he asks his friend if he can eat the paper, which Hiroyuki does not want him to eat because he is afraid that the paper might be an agent of some foreign power. He tells his friend that he has made a mistake in not eating the paper. He also tells him that his friend is trying to kidnap Tomsugu, a student at the school, and that he is his friend's pinch hitter when he needs someone to watch him. The girl, however, has been using a Japanese slang that he thinks is going to be forgotten in a few months. The girls decide to make some dough nuts, and they ask their mother for the recipe. Before they leave, they ask if it is okay for them to eat the doughnuts together. They decide that it would be best if they let the dough rise for an hour, and then they make a hole in the dough and let it rise for a few minutes. They then glaze the dough with honey and then lemon juice and sugar, and leave a chocolate wrapper on the dough.
