This chapter opens with a conversation between a young man and a middle-aged woman. The young man tells the woman that he has just seen an "unexpected scene" in which the leader is enjoying the chest of a saintess alone. The woman tells the young man that she has seen the scene too, and that she must have seen it too. The two young men discuss whether or not the leader has fallen so low that he needs a female companion to practice his martial arts with him. They decide to take a break from the mahjong game and discuss whether the two men can practice all night and still have enough energy to keep practicing. They agree that it is too tiring for them to handle, and they decide that they need to rest. They discuss whether they should stop practicing their martial arts, but the young men insist that they should not be ashamed of themselves. They say that they often talk about improving themselves, but they never take action. They are far behind the leader, but he is still stronger than them. They ask the woman if she has sunflower seeds, and she tells them that eating them can help them to stop thinking too much, but she does not know if they should buy snacks for the leaders and the saintesses. She wonders if they will need anything else. The only thing they can do is to protect the leader and support him while he is working hard.
