In this chapter, we learn that the baby is not a boy, but a girl. It is a girl, and the narrator tells us that she is the result of his "fertilizer eggs" . The narrator says that he did not think that the institution would take care of the child, so he stored the eggs thinking that when the child grew up, he would ask for the child's return and get a check as compensation. He says that the child has changed his life, and that if he brought another child to him, it would be "ridious." The narrator admits that he does not know when he fell in love with Rourou, but he says that when he was facing his uncertain future, it was Rourou who made his "uncertain future certain." When the narrator decided to have his child, he was not sure that he could raise a child. Back then, he says, he thought that he and Rourou were no better than each other, but now he realizes that he was wrong.
