Mei made a promise with Charlie that he would return her to her time on the next full moon, but she's starting to feel that she would rather stay in the Meiji Era with Ougai. Meanwhile, having started writing his next novel, Ougai has shut himself up in the study to focus. The story he writes is meant to be a love story, but his writing isn't progressing as he would like and Ougai's countenance is getting gloomier. Ougai's past is hidden within the story.
芽衣は次の満月の夜、元の時代へ戻ることをチャーリーと約束していたが、
鴎外のいる明治に留まりたいと思いはじめていた。
一方、小説の執筆を始めた鴎外は、書斎に引きこもりがちになる。
筆が思うように進まず、恋の物語を書いているはずなのに、表情はなぜか暗く曇っていた。
その物語には、鴎外の過去が隠されていた。
Neste episódio, Ougai-san está em apuros e não consegue mais escrever por causa do passado que o assombra.
