The narrator tells us that Nemo has been alive for a year and a half, and that he feels like he's been sleeping for a while. He's excited about the upcoming chapter 100, which will be the 100th chapter in the series. The narrator says that he can express colors just fine in both black and white, which is why Nemo's grandfather is famous for painting in blue. Nemo says that his vision gets worse as time goes on, but he still has the ability to perceive color. He says that the world can look monochrome to him, which might be a good thing for reading manga. He also says that one day he'll be able to see the blue that Nemo saw from the island, and he plans to watch him for the rest of his life. He tells the narrator that he, Nemo, and his family took a trip to the island as a family one last time, and they'll all be back tomorrow night. He asks the narrator why he didn't let Mina go, and the narrator replies that he was going to watch her for her, but that he'd be back the next day. He wants to show the narrator his pages from the storage box, which he says they're going to draw the next week. He doesn't want Mina to see it, because she's going to shove it down his throat, but the narrator says it's a "farce" .
