Mei attends a party as a geisha to help Otoyakko. Kyoka is also unwillingly roped into dressing up as a geisha to repay burning the tatami mats. On this evening, a party called a "popular party" is being held at the behest of Iwasaki Tosuke, and Yakumo, Fujita, Syunso, and Ougai are among those in attendance. Mei, who has been undergoing fiancée training, does her best to entertain the other guests while avoiding running into Ougai.
音奴の手伝いで芸者として座敷に上がる芽衣。
鏡花も燃やしてしまった畳代を稼ぐ為、しぶしぶ芸者の恰好をして働くことに。
今宵は岩崎桃介の呼びかけで「流行会」と呼ばれる宴会が行われ、
その中には八雲、藤田、春草、そして鴎外がいた。
内緒でフィアンセ修行をしていた芽衣は、鴎外を避けて接待するが……。
Mei vai para a festa como uma geisha para ajudar Otoyakko. Kyoka também acaba tendo que se vestir de geisha para pagar pelos tatamis queimados.
