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.
It's not as though Kiku-san belongs to you.
أتعتقد أنّ كيكو-سان مِلكك؟
Kiku no te pertenece.
Kiku no te pertenece.
Kiku ne t’appartient pas,
que je sache !
Guarda che Kiku non è mica tua!
A Kiku não pertence a você.
Кику тебе не принадлежит.
