Tama hides a deep, dark secret, and meeting Handa may have led her to reveal it. Is it too late for her to save her reputation? Meanwhile, Handa is suffering his own angst after not placing first in a calligraphy competition. Maybe a friendly mochi-picking session with the villagers will cheer him up...
In any case, I must protect my 
reputation as a meek, literary girl!
على أي حال، يجبُ أن أحمي سمعتي كفتاة أدبيّة سويّة
Ich muss jedenfalls mein Ansehen als 
anständiges, literarisches Mädchen wahren!
¡En cualquier caso, debo proteger
mi reputación como chica literaria decente!
Je dois préserver mon image
d’amoureuse de la littérature.
