In this chapter, the narrator tells us that his friend gave him a love letter from a woman named Esugawara. The woman asks him to speak with her, and the narrator says he's sorry to bug him during exams, but he needs to talk to her. She asks him if he needs anything, and he says he does, and she asks if she can ask him to give her a response if possible. The narrator says that he never thought he'd receive such a letter, and that it's really from a guy named Nemo. He tells her that Nemo is a nice guy, and says that she sounds like him, too. She wonders why he doesn't try to flirt with her again. He says that if he did, she'd be creeped out, and it would be like a pain in the ass. She wants to know what he would do if she did it to him. He asks her if she would be bothered if he said the same thing. She says she would, and then he asks her what she thinks he should do. She tells him that he should try to be more force, but that he'll be a good guy and she'll let it slide. She also tells him about his reply to Nemo, saying that he was kind of direct, but she thinks that he is a really good guy. She hopes that he will tell her how sorry he is for having to ask her to give him a response
