There was a little misunderstanding, and now she's going to duel with Bertille, a second year knight. Takahiro couldn't stand back and watch--he's gonna be her begleiter. Mio doesn't even know how to hold a lance, but she realizes jousting is fun while Takahiro teaches her. All the women who wanted Takahiro to be their begleiter are surprised.

Takahiro elicits helps from Noel a second-year knight student who wants to show just how strong she is by helping to train Mio.

Takahiro does not know what to do, as he is also being asked by Celia and Noel. Takahiro wanders around town on their day off, only to run into the girls who are also spending their day off in different ways. Takahiro talks a little bit about the arena in which all knights wish to find themselves someday...

Akane finds herself weak as she admires Celia just way too much. She decides that she must undergo training to overcome this, but rain comes instead.

Takahiro realizes something is up, and he comes to find them, but you'll never believe what happens...

Takahiro and Ayako are there as support to help out. Takahiro learns why Noel wishes to fight one night, and also learns more about himself. Mio runs into Takahiro in the bath during his reflection. The girls show up looking for Mio and high jinks ensue.
