There was a strange customer ('shite' or the leading role) who came to his pub every day and drank in a very cool manner, so one day Kofu asked him about his name, then the customer answered that he was Shojo living under water; and the customer left (the disappearance of the leading role from the stage is called 'naka-iri', and the leading role before the naka-iri is called 'mae-jite', after the naka-iri is called 'nochi-jite').
その店に毎日やってきては酒を飲むが顔色の変わらない不思議な客（前シテ）がおり、その素性を高風がたずねたところ、自分は海中に住む猩々であると告げて立去った（中入り）。
