One evening, the group are scared by a pair of ghosts, who turn out to be the spirits of Fujinami's friend and his daughter.The two ghosts explain that they were trying to make a new dish using sea urchin, but due to poisoning, both died. It is also revealed that the friend's daughter Nagisa, was to become Ryunnosuke's wife.Ryunnosuke refuses, and confesses to her Father's friend that she cannot wed Nagisa, since she isn't a boy, but a girl.
