The next day, the family heard "knock knock" on the door. The old woman went to the door to open it and saw a tall man holding a bag. The man asked "Hello. I am a doctor. Where is the sick old man?"

The old woman took the doctor to the old man's room. The doctor said to the old man, "take this medicine and please get a lot of sleep."

After that, Shiori went to the door with the doctor and asked him a question, "excuse me, sir, why did you come to our house? We are not wealthy."

The doctor said to Shiori, "because our princess wants to pay Shiori back, I came to your house."

Shiori said "princess?," but because the doctor had already left the house, it became quiet and she did not receive an answer.
