In this chapter, we learn that the landlord of the house is the "best cook" in the world, and that the people who live there are "the more people" the more fun they have. Ayano, the servant, tries to explain to the others why he has not been able to finish one of the dishes that he had planned to make. He tells them that he has forgotten to buy some more soy sauce, and asks them to get him some wine, chuhai, and water melon. They all agree to help him, and he thanks them profusely.
