On a new temple pillar, a monk finds scribbles that say “Kanda Hatchōbori Yajirobē Kitahachi Two Companions.” Yaji and Kita claim that the temple’s monks are to blame, but they clam it’s Yaji and Kita, leading to disputes. In the middle, Kita calls them flatterers, worsening the situation. Yaji and Kita end up running away from the temple covered in sesame ashes.
