In this chapter, we learn that the school's shogi club is trying to get a girl named Mami to join, but Mami is worried that she's going to get tangled up in a love triangle with another girl named Kaori. She wants to know what it's like to be a member of the club, so she asks her friend, the troublemaker, to tell her what's up. The troublemaker tells her that she can join the club from now on if she'll just be good friends with her friend. Mami thinks this is a good idea, because she'd really like to get some girls to join her club. She tells her friend that she and her friend are going to have a match, and she asks him to play for her. He says he can't, because he's not good enough at the game. He also tells her about how he and his friend often have fights with each other, because they're both friends with the same girl, and they have to talk to each other about each other's problems. Mami tells him that she doesn't want to be friends with anyone like him, because that's what he is.
