Berich's father, the young master of the school where Berich is a student, orders him to have breakfast with him. He tells him to hold the reins with his thumb and squeeze the other end of the reins tightly with his ring and little finger. This is not how he taught him to do it, and he apologizes, saying that he didn't realize that his hand was placed in a way that was inappropriate. Berich says that he thinks he is better at riding than his father, and that he is grateful for the reminder. He says that his stomach is churning out, so he will have some water, and then he will leave.
