In this chapter, we learn that Hiroshi and his companions are on their way to the Todai Ruins, but Hiroshi doesn't know where they're going, and he's worried that he'll die if they don't find them. He's also worried that they'll find him, so he sends out a bounty hunter to find him. The bounty hunter is Hiroshi's supervisor, and Hiroshi has a message for him: he has to go to Todai with Naruse gawa, who he thinks is beautiful and smart. Hiroshi tells the bounty hunter that he loves Naruse, and that the time has finally come for him to have forbidden love. He wants to tell him everything he needs to know, so that he won't be able to prevent the lovers from falling in love.
