Kiyo works at the Maiko House as the live-in cook. She sees her childhood friend Sumire in town one day, accompanying older maiko. Back at the House kitchen, Sumire tells Kiyo how hard she is working towards her goal of becoming one, too. Sumire is overjoyed to learn that she will debut as a maiko later that evening. She runs straight to Kiyo to share her news, but what will she think?
I better go see Mother now.
من الأفضل أن أذهب لرؤية أمّي الآن
Ich sollte jetzt lieber zu Mutter.
Ya es la hora.
Debo ir con nuestra madre.
Ya es la hora. Debo ir con madre.
C’est l’heure,

Meglio che vada ora, Mamma mi aspetta.
Já deu a hora. Vou conversar com a mãe.
