The next morning, Hirofumi arrives at his father's house. Hirofumi tells his father that he has come to tell him that his son has fallen in love with his servant, and that he will be coming to see him soon. The two men discuss the possibility of Hirofumi's marriage to his servant's daughter, and Hirofumi asks his father if he would like to hire his son as a teacher. His father replies that he does not want his son to do such a thing, as it would be a waste of his time and energy. The father then asks Hirofumi if he is willing to assist him in his son's business, but Hirofumi says that he is unable to do so because he is busy with his students.
