At the beginning of the chapter, Keiichi goes to help his friends win a baseball game. Keiichi starts showing off his persuasion skills in convincing the rival batter [[Kouichi Kameda|Kameda]] in letting his team win. Keiichi also starts developing a friendship with [[Kyosuke Irie]].
 
Later, Keiichi's parents are away and so Keiichi tries to cook dinner by himself, however he proves to be bad at it and almost burns his house down. Satoko and Rika arrive and cook dinner for him instead, and Keiichi soon learns that Satoko's brother had gone missing. Keiichi decides to become a replacement brother and starts building a close friendship with Satoko.
 
Satoko's abusive uncle [[Teppei Houjou]] returns to the village and forces Satoko to go back to living with him, and Keiichi and his friends become aware that she's suffering. They convince [[Rumiko Chie]] to call child protective services and Satoko returns to school the next day, however she has a panic attack soon after. Keiichi resolves himself to kill Teppei and starts preparing.
 
He calls Mion and asks her to take Satoko to the festival while he goes off to do something, trying to hide his plans. He then calls Teppei and pretends to be a police officer, asking that he drive to the police station to retrieve Satoko. Keiichi had prepared a baseball bat and shovel earlier, and he lies in wait for Teppei to drive by and soon kills him. He buries the body and disposes of his scooter in the swamp but gets lost and is found by Takano. Takano gives Keiichi a ride home, however Keiichi remains suspicious of her and considers killing her. Takano drops him off and leaves off with an ominous message that they never met that night; Keiichi wishes that Takano die a fiery death.
