Changes

Manjirô enters at the end of the ''hanamichi'', explaining aloud that it has been several days since he saw Mitsugi, and has no idea where the sword or the letter are, so he has come here to visit his lover, Okishi, in the hopes that she might know something.

Okishi happens to emerge from the party, and lets Manjirô in. He explains quickly everything that has been going on, and Okishi tells him that Mitsugi has been to the teahouse a number of times in the past few days, looking for Manjirô. Sennô, another courtesan of the Aburaya, emerges from the party, looking for Okishi, while Manjirô withdraws and hides, making his way to nearby [[Dairin-ji]], so as to remain out of sight of Sennô just long enough that he can then turn around and come back.

After he exits, Mitsugi enters on the ''hanamichi''. He makes his way to the teahouse and asks Okishi as to Manjirô's whereabouts. He tells her he has obtained the Shimosaka sword, but rather than going to Dairin-ji to meet up with Manjirô, Okishi convinces him to stay, assuring him that Manjirô will be back soon, and that if he leaves for the temple, they might cross paths and miss one another.
