While the master is away, Hatori and Tokihiko, the front desk manager and bath caretaker from Tenjin-ya's rival inn Orio-ya, suddenly show up at Tenjin-ya. Although they say they came as guests, a tense mood prevails among the employees.
More people are coming later,
so we'll need a lot of meatballs.
Es kommen später mehr zum Essen,
wir brauchen also viele Fleischbällchen.
La gente llegará más tarde,
necesitaremos muchas albóndigas.
On attend du monde,
il nous faut plein de boulettes.
Vai chegar mais gente depois,
então preciso de muitas almôndegas.
