Koguma visits Reiko at her home, and the two have dinner together. Reiko recounts the story of how she took a job at the Mountain Hut Kikuya over the summer as a means to pursue her own dream, something which proved to be more difficult than expected.
The second guy, who ran a
bookstore, didn't even die;
Ihr zweiter Besitzer, der Buchverkäufer,
El segundo tipo, que tenía una librería,

El segundo, dueño de una librería,
ni siquiera murió.
Le 2e, un libraire, n’est pas mort,
il a disparu pour échapper à ses dettes.
O segundo, dono de uma livraria,
nem sequer morreu.
