Ichiro tricked Kuroda into joining a poetry contest and making snow-dragons with old maids in a garden. Finally, Kuroda won a wrestling tournament. Enjoying his victory, Kuroda gloated to Ichiro. Ichiro only smiled as a Seppun guardsman escorted Kuroda to Hantei XXXIX, where Kuroda was expected to perform a bugaku dance in front of the entire court, as it happened which every sumai winner.
