The Izumo-ya currently bears a significant debt inherited from Seiji's father and it is due for repayment. Seiji beseeches the man who holds their debt and, in honor of Seiji's late father, he grants a one month extension. The man even suggests that Seiji consider selling some of the items in the lending shop, but Seiji turns it down. Though the debt is great, Seiji tries to come up with an alternative means of coming up with the money. Meanwhile, a samurai named Yaemon of the Takada clan visits the Izumo-ya and says he wants to buy the rabbit comb that Usagi inhabits at any price.
but this blue jewel is a stone that could 
have been taken from as far away as China.
لكنّ هذه الجوهرة هي حجر ربّما 
.أُخذ من مكان بعيد في الصّين
aber dieses blaue Juwel stammt aus einem Land,
das so weit entfernt ist wie China.
pero esta joya azul
es una piedra que podría ser de China.
pero esta joya azul
es una piedra que podría ser de China.
Mais sa pierre bleue
Ma il gioiello blu che vi è incastonato,
 potrebbe venire dalla lontana Cina.
mas esta pedra esférica pode ter
sido pega de algum lugar longe como a China.
а вот голубой камень был привезён
издалека, может даже из Китая.
