	<spoiler>Nakadai challenges Sanjuurou to a fight which Sanjuurou loses on accident when he discovers Michiko cheering on Nakadai to win, realizing that Michiko actually has a crush on Nakadai. In the nurses' office Michiko bandages the wound on Sanjuurou's head and asks who he is to which Sanjuurou replies, "Sanjuurou Sakura". Unsatisfied with the outcome of the fight, Nakadai challenges Sanjuurou again at the Tsurugi household, but this time he cheats and uses real swords. Seeing Sanjuurou outmatched, Michiko runs inside the house and returns with one of Sanjuurou's metal swords which she tosses at Sanjuurou just in the nick of time.		<spoiler>Nakadai challenges Sanjuurou to a fight which Sanjuurou loses on accident when he discovers Michiko cheering on Nakadai to win, realizing that Michiko actually has a crush on Nakadai.
