## Plot

*March, Taisho 12 (1923)*

Yuzuki is washing Tamahiko's face when Ryo's brothers interrupt them to ask Tamahiko to help them study. He reluctantly agrees but is dismayed when the boys invite other village children to join the tutoring lessons. He is relieved when the lesson ends but notices one of the brothers, Ryotaro Atsumi, looks sad.

A few days later, the children return. Ryo also visits to bring snacks for the lesson. She drags Yuzuki to the kitchen to prepare more snacks. Ryo teases Yuzuki by saying she has taken a liking to both her and Tamahiko. However, Ryo apologizes for the earlier incident and asks how Yuzuki can be happy despite being bought for money. The two then bring the snacks and join the lesson.

After the lesson ends and the children start leaving, Ryotaro talks with Tamahiko, announcing he will move to Tokyo for an apprenticeship after he graduates from grade school. He wants to help after seeing how hard his sister has worked for the family. Tamahiko feels bad, as he never worried about moving from grade to middle school. Yuzuki comforts him. Later that night, Ryo frantically tells the two that Ryotaro has gone missing and they search for him. Tamahiko finds him sleeping in a shed, and the child cries that he doesnt want to leave his family. Tamahiko offers him encouragement that he can still see his family if he works hard and tells him the positive aspects of Tokyo. The child then tells Ryo he will go after all. They all bid him farewell at the train station the next day.

Riding a bike back home, Yuzuki asks Tamahiko if he can teach her to go ride a bike but he refuses because he will take her anywhere himself forever, which makes her happy. He tells himself that as long as she is by his side, he can start changing and be able to protect her forever.
