Kikuhiko and Shin both become successful, but with quite different rakugo styles. Shin continues his good time lifestyle while Kikuhiko does the opposite, preferring a quiet evening with Miyokichi. Yakumo asks Kikuhiko to accompany him on a tour, rather than Shin. Kikuhiko spends little time with Miyokichi, preferring to practice which make her quite sad as she enjoys his company and has fallen in love with him.
