The next day, Tachibana and Iachibana tell their parents that they are in love. They ask their parents to give them permission to marry. Iachiban asks his father to give him some time to think things over. He says that he doesn't really want to move out of the house, but that it would be best for him and his family to be apart for a while. He tells his father that he wants to see tanabata in person, so that he won't feel like he's being "burdened" on her.
