Having learned how expensive books are in this world, Main resolves to make books of her own. However, she soon finds out just how frail her new body is when she and her elder sister, Turi, decide to go to the gate to deliver something their father forgot—she can hardly take a few steps before running out of breath. But that's when Lutz, a neighborhood kid the same age as Main, offers his help. Main is touched by this and soon makes it to the gate. There, Otto gives her his old slate, letting her experience the joy of writing once again.
Huh? Wait, didn't I hit upon a 
great idea before I fainted?
ماذا؟ لحظة، ألم يخطر على ذهني 
فكرة رائعة قبل أن يُغمى عليّ؟
Hm … Mir ist, als hatte ich eine zündende Idee,
bevor ich ohnmächtig wurde …
¿Eh? Creo que tuve una idea excelente
justo antes de desmayarme…
¿Eh? Creo que tuve una idea genial
justo antes de desmayarme…
D’ailleurs,
Oh?
Ué? Pouco antes de desmaiar,
eu não tinha tido uma ideia genial?
А? Погодите-ка, я помню, что перед
обмороком придумала что-то классное.
