Kiyo works at the Maiko House as the live-in cook. She sees her childhood friend Sumire in town one day, accompanying older maiko. Back at the House kitchen, Sumire tells Kiyo how hard she is working towards her goal of becoming one, too. Sumire is overjoyed to learn that she will debut as a maiko later that evening. She runs straight to Kiyo to share her news, but what will she think?
May I be excused, Sisters?
هل يمكنني المغادرة يا أخواتي؟
Darf ich mich zurückziehen, Schwestern?
Con permiso, hermanas,
me retiraré primero.
Con permiso, hermanas,
me retiraré primero.
Mes sœurs, je sors de table.
Sorella, posso congedarmi?
Onee-san, vou me retirar primeiro.
Вы не будете против,
если я уже пойду?
