When Yoichi hits Washizu for daydreaming, he runs out of the dojo. Washizu shouts his confession to Ibuki. Ayame overhears this and thinks that Washizu is confessing to her. Washizu returns to the dojo and is paired up with Ayame and they spar aggressively with bokkens. After everyone is dismissed from the dojo, Washizu and Torigaya sees a poster for the local festival. The night of the festival arrives. Torigaya and Washizu made a rigged ballot. Torigaya mixed up the draw and the resulting groups are: Ayame and Washizu, Yoichi and Ibuki, with Chihaya, Kagome and Washizu are in the final group. During the course of the festival, siblings of the Saginomiya clan plot against Yoichi. It is a running gag that Yoichi is interested in a stall, runs ahead and leaves Ibuki to search for him. Meanwhile, Yoichi runs to a shooting gallery, a store run by the Saginomiya clan, and futilely tries to shoot a prize. Ibuki catches up to him and hits the main prize for a family to go to a hot springs, with a little help from the Saginomiya girl. At the same time, Ayame constantly hurls abuse at Washizu until he clears up Ayame's misunderstanding of his confession. Washizu sees Ibuki and Yoichi in the distance. He rushes off with Ibuki to leave Yoichi to Ayame. Meanwhile, Washizu finds that the person he rushed off with isn't Ibuki but Tsubasa with a haunted house mask. It is revealed that the reason why the Saginomiya clan tricks Ibuki into winning the hot springs trip is because of Ukyo's crush on Ibuki.
