In this chapter, we learn that Masaki and his friends are going to a party to celebrate the upcoming wedding of Tamura and Takemura. We learn that this is the first time Masaki has been invited to such a party, and that he has been snubbed by the other students. Masaki invites us to join them for dinner and drinks, but we are not invited to the party because Masaki does not want to be seen as a single man. He tells us that he is hungry, and asks Masaki if he can have a card with his name on it. The card is full of chili peppers, and Masaki says that he likes both of them. He asks if he should bring work home, and he says he will, since he is leaving for his father's house soon. He then asks if Masaki is going to sleep with him, and the two of them agree to go to sleep together.
