In this chapter, the Governess and her two younger siblings discuss the events of the previous day. The Governess complains that she has slept too much, and that she wants to get up and get ready for work. She tells her brother that she is very proud of him, and he praises her. He tells her that he has cooked her a delicious egg-fried rice, and she praises him for his cooking skills. She then tells him that they are going to look for the "calamity spirits" and that they will discuss the salary later.
