Thrilled by a friend's poetry collection, Takuboku begins to lose confidence in himself. Kyousuke tries to cheer him up, but when he finds out that Takuboku was involved in talks of someone buying Oen, the prostitute from the same province as them, he can't conceal his indignation. Meanwhile, at the milk hall, Yoshii, Sakutarou, and Bokusui hold a poetry contest, refereed by Nomura, to see who will confess their feelings to Kiku, the waitress.
Then tonight is the night we settle things!
!إذاً اللّيلة هي اللّيلة التي نحسم فيها الأمور
Dann sollten wir das heute Nacht
angehen, meinst du nicht?
Non vogliamo risolvere la questione stasera?
Então hoje de noite é
a hora de acertar tudo!
Тогда сегодня мы повеселимся!
