Mei undergoes strict instruction from a geisha named Otoyakko to become a proper lady worthy of being Ougai's fiancée. She struggles desperately to learn how to wear a kimono, how to carry herself, and etiquette. Otoyakko observes Mei and tells her that, "I don't mind women like you." As Mei's training continues, she fails to take notice of when Otoyakko slips and speaks in a more manly tone, revealing that her geisha mentor may not be all "she" appears to be.
I, your mentor, will begin drumming what it 
means to be ladylike into you without delay.
Como tu mentora, te grabaré a fuego
lo que es ser un dama sin falta.
Como tu mentora, te grabaré a fuego
lo que es ser una dama sin falta.
Come tuo mentore, riuscirò a trasformarti 
in una perfetta signorina in men che non si dica!
Eu, sua mentora, começarei a te ensinar
como é ser uma dama agora mesmo.
Как твой наставник с этой же минуты начну
объяснять, что значит быть настоящей леди.
