April 20
About 7:00, he heard Otsune and someone talking in the corridor.
He had never heard that voice.
He thought it was a new maid’s.
While he had been still dozing, someone came in.
He opened his eyes slightly.
A round-faced woman who seemed to be 17 years old put kindling charcoal in the brazier.
He woke again without opening his eyes.
Otsune opened violently the paper covered wooden structured sliding door.
She came in and was going out with kindling charcoal.
He opened his eyes fully. She said she would bring it later for him.
He blamed her abuse with voice.
She changed her face.
In the morning, he went to a pawnshop to change his shawl into 0.6 yen.
He had a crew cut in a barbershop and bought washcloth and soap.
When he was going to enter the public bath opposite the barbershop, the keeper’s charming wife let him know they would not be ready until 11:00 because it’s inspection day.
When he’s reading a novel in the bedding, Kyosuke came and asked him if he had hot water.
