Before sunrise, he, Kyosuke and a friend went to the Ueno Station for meeting his mother, wife, child and a friend coming to Tokyo from his hometown by train. They went to his new place by a vehicle drawn by a man.
His hair and beard had become very long. A maid said he looked like a tuberculosis patient. By Kyosuke’s negotiation with the geshukuya, he would pay 10 yen every month for the unpaid rent 119 yen.
In the afternoon, he asked a friend to go to the newspaper company with his letter and get his salary, 25 yen, in advance. He went to Asakusa with friends. They watched a movie and ate Western foods. He bought 5 or 6 magazines.
He sold the book a friend wrote and gave him. He made a few slight scratches on his left breast by the razor he had borrowed from Kyosuke. Kyosuke was surprised and let him go out together to a Japanese fry restaurant. They drank and laughed.
