In this chapter, we learn that i>Tachibana and /i>Karasuma have been avoiding each other for a week. a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4w1Y1sDw1s" target="_blank" em>The narrator/em> tells us that he has been hanging out with the two of them, but that they haven't spoken to each other in a long time. He says that he's going to go back and forth between the two houses for a while, and that he and Tachibana aren't really like each other. He's worried that they're talking about something other than what's best for them. He tells them that he can't eat another bite of yakisobo, which is a kind of noodle that's made from dried seaweed. He also says that tachibana has been seen eating penne with him, but he doesn't know if that means she's eaten penne or not. The narrator says that everyone can afford to eat penne, but t/a>yakisoba isn't so cheap. He adds that he thinks that the two men are having a lot of fun talking about the "creep" , and he wonders if they are talking about "this creep" or "the other am creep" . The two men agree that it's time to rescue the girl from the clutches of the creep, and they decide to use the cards they have to do so. They're going to use their cards to punish the girl, who's already been in class for 15 days. They don't want to let the girl go for nothing, so they won't leave her until
