Two months have passed since the end of the school year, and Harada is still recovering from his wounds. He tells Harada that he is about to leave for a three-day overnight trip tokyoto, where he will spend two nights at a temple. Harada says that he feels like he is being brushed off by his girlfriend, and he wonders if she is enjoying her college life. He wonders if the people of the city are like "bwaaw attack people" . He asks Harada if he is tired from all his mornings and wonders if he might have been tired if he had happened to have left the mountains of Japan. He says that it is a good thing that he has come to see Harada, because he thinks that the city is "such a frightening place." Harada replies that he does not think that a normal occurrence of steamins is not helping. He adds that he will not be taking Harada back after all, and that he and his girlfriend have already decided to get married every night since they have been living in the city. He is surprised that Harada does not know what Harada's girlfriend is like, but he says that she is cute and he cannot do anything with a sword. He claims that he made it into Todai two years ago, but that his skills with the sword are pitiful.
