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.
Even so... How could you be so cruel?
ولو كان كذلك... لمَ أنت بهذه القسوة؟
Aber das heißt doch nichts …

Aun así, es muy cruel.
Aun así, es muy cruel.
Quand même,
c’est odieux de ta part !
Non ti sembra comunque crudele?!
Mesmo assim, como
você pôde ser tão cruel?
Зачем ты так жесток?
