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.
Sorry for the trouble. 
Can I ask you to heat this up?
آسف للإزعاج. هلّا طلبتُ منكِ ملء هذا؟
Wärst du so frei,
uns den hier zu erwärmen?
Disculpa, ¿puedes calentar esto?
Disculpa, ¿puedes calentar esto?
S’il vous plaît,

Scusa, ce lo puoi scaldare?
Desculpe pelo incômodo,
mas poderia aquecer isto?
Простите за беспокойство.
Вы не подогреете?
