In this chapter, we learn that after the incident at the store, the young man had to take a job at the maid's cafe in exchange for the family's "top secret recipe" . The young man explains that he wants to prove to his parents that he is responsible for his actions and that he takes full responsibility for everything he does. He says that he has grown up and is no longer a "spoiled brat" who only lets his parents down. He tells the servant that he can only come into the kitchen when he says so. The servant tells him that the sambal is ready, but that he will have to wait for the kitchen to be cleaned up before he can use it. He asks the servant to tell him how to make the sambal, but the servant says that it has been three months since the last time he made it, and he only has a little left. He wants to give the sambal to his friends in Japan so that they can try the best sambal in the world.
