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.
What is that? It's too early in the 
morning for something so creepy.
ما هذا؟ شيء مُخيف كهذا في صباحٍ باكر جدّاً
Was machst du da Widerliches
schon zu früher Stunde?
¿Tiene que darme escalofríos
ya de buena mañana?
¿Tiene que darme escalofríos
ya de buena mañana?
Pourquoi ces lectures glauques
de si bon matin ?
Ma cos'è questa cosa inquietante di prima mattina?
O que é isso? É cedo demais
para algo medonho assim.
Что это? Ещё слишком
рано для такой жути.
