Yamabiko's Day Off

A pleasant morning. There were no overnight guests today. After cleaning up, Tenko goes for a walk alone in the neighborhood. When she visits a famous local spring, she happens to meet Yamabiko (Takashi Yamanaka) of Yamabiko Store. Yamabiko is also on holiday today, and was visiting a nearby ancient tomb. Yamabiko takes Tenko back to the pension. Tenko invites Yamabiko in for a cup of tea as a thank you. Tenko listens to Yamabiko's story on the terrace. The sun is quietly setting.
