One day, Seiji receives an odd request from Kounosuke to look into the background of a seaweed wholesaler named Hansuke that he is on good terms with. Stylish and dashing, Hansuke is a ladies man who has a talent for business despite his age and his seaweed wholesale shop has been very successful, but Kounosuke is suspicious of his unusual generosity towards him believing that Hansuke has ulterior motives. Seiji is unable to find out anything unusual about Hansuke, but while out on a boating trip he notices that Hansuke has an odd reaction to the kiseru that Goi inhabits. What kind of past connection do Goi and Hansuke have?
I remembered the feelings 
of love I had forgotten.
.تذكّرت مشاعر الحبّ الّتي كنت قد نسيتها
erinnerte mich das an
meine vergessene Liebe.
y recordé sentimientos de amor
que había olvidado.
y recordé sentimientos de amor
que había olvidado.
plus je me remémorais
l’amour que je voulais oublier.
più mi tornavano alla mente 
quei sentimenti d'amore che credevo dimenticati.
eu me lembrei do amor que havia esquecido.
во мне проснулись чувства, 
о которых я давно позабыла.
