To prepare, Houki agrees to train Ichika by practicing kendo brutally. On the day of the match, Ichika is given the Byakushiki to fight against Cecilia in her own personal unit, the Blue Tears.

| While evading Squall, Tatenashi alerts Kanzashi that there is a bomb planted onboard the monorail. Ichika manages to prevent Madoka from blasting the monorail. Houki and Cecilia pin down Autumn and kill her in an explosion. However, the two later witness Madoka stabbing Ichika, just as the bomb explodes in the distance. Houki catches Ichika and cries for him to awaken. After the bomb was located, Lingyin, Charlotte, Laura and Kanzashi luckily disarmed it in time. In a vision, Ichika is seized by Madoka, but a young girl in white lends Ichika a helping hand. Lingyin, Charlotte, Laura and Kanzashi are thwarted by Squall after trying to disable Madoka. Tatenashi, who diverts Squall with a shot to break her barrier, signals Ichika to attack in White Knight form, but Madoka intercepts him. After Squall fires Ichika to the ground, Squall and Madoka withdraw, as they have collected enough data. In a hot springs bath, Ichika relaxes while thinking about Madoka's locket containing a photo of Chifuyu. He hides behind a rock when the girls enter the bath, since the owner mistakenly reversed the bath signs during his stay. Ichika submerges himself to keep quiet but eventually faints and floats over to the girls, causing them to scream. ||||
