It's lunchtime at the school, and Ming asks to be excused from her usual meeting with the teacher's group. Ming tells Ming that the school is organizing a lot of activities for the coming school year, including an art festival, a walk, and a performance by the school's students. Ming wants to know why Ming is in a pair with the other teacher, but Ming tells her that each subject group has to come up with its own performance for the festival. Ming asks about the costume Ming is wearing and Ming says that she's wearing a tree demon's costume because she can't fit everything in one go, so she just wore it. Ming also tells Ming about the group's performance, which Ming thinks is amazing. Ming thinks that Ming and another teacher, who is also in the group, are so good-looking that they look like they're two young single teachers. Ming then asks Ming to take her makeup and clothes to her house so she can try on her new costume
