Ep. 10: Escaping at 3 O'Clock in the Afternoon
While Ogai writes a novel called The Dancing Girl, Mei contemplates staying in the Meiji era as she gazes at the moon. During breakfast the next morning, Ogai suddenly appears before Mei and Shunso, informing them that his novel is a love story. Mei and Fumi later discuss what type of love story that Ogai would write. While trying to quiet down the area, Mei notices Ogai unusually taking a bath at noon. Tenshin Okakura, who is Ogai's drinking buddy and Shunso's art teacher, barges into the mansion in order to show his overwhelming support for Ogai writing the romance novel and Shunso painting the black cat masterpiece. After Tenshin abruptly leaves, Ogai returns to his study, where it is shown that he has writer's block. Charlie appears before Mei in her bedroom at night, and he reminds her that he can send her back to the modern age during the next full moon. After Mei declares that she wants to stay in the Meiji era and live with Ogai, Charlie departs after confirming that Mei does not have to leave. As Ogai continues having writer's block, a spirit named Elise materializes and stops him from completing his romance novel. (Source: Wikipedia)
