Thrilled by a friend's poetry collection, Takuboku begins to lose confidence in himself. Kyousuke tries to cheer him up, but when he finds out that Takuboku was involved in talks of someone buying Oen, the prostitute from the same province as them, he can't conceal his indignation. Meanwhile, at the milk hall, Yoshii, Sakutarou, and Bokusui hold a poetry contest, refereed by Nomura, to see who will confess their feelings to Kiku, the waitress.
When it comes to poems about alcohol, 
no one can match him.
عندما يتعلّق الأمر بقصائد عن الكحول

Wenn man ihn mit Alkohol Gedichte vortragen lässt,
kann es keiner mit ihm aufnehmen.
No hay nadie que componga
mejores poemas sobre el alcohol.
No hay nadie que componga
mejores poemas sobre el alcohol.
Quand il s’agit de parler d’alcool,
personne ne lui arrive à la cheville.
Non c'è nessuno che lo eguagli
Ninguém se compara a ele
em poemas sobre álcool.
В стихах про алкоголь
с ним никто не сравнится.
