One evening he spends some time with a wrestler-to-be, Tanaka, who happens to be laid out with a cold. They play chess together and Matsutaro in a tantrum makes him cry; feeling bad for that, Matsutaro decides to help Tanaka make the beds for their stable-mates.

Tanaka just can't get strong. If he continues this way, he'd have to retire early, he won't make a living with sumo.

Even if he fails at sumo, if he could open a first-rate chanko restaurant, his future would be secure.
