Lettuce and Zatch were having a conversation, as they sat down at a green table in the dining room. Lettuce said to Zatch in a sweet tone, "Well, the weather forecast told me that the sun will not be blocked by clouds." Zatch replied with a happy look on his face, "Lettuce, that's amazing! You're so awesome!" Zatch asked while Tart put two plates of strawberry waffles down on the green table, "Lettuce, are you waiting for your fight against a mamodo? Pudding helped me fight Zeno, and Mint defeated Purio." Lettuce responded as she cut her waffles with a fork and a knife, "Well, my opponent might be really strong. After I'm done eating, I'll do some training in the snow-covered forest." Zatch liked her idea, and he noisily ate his strawberry waffles.
Meanwhile, Ichigo was looking at one of the winter resort's brochures in the lobby. She exclaimed with a cheerful facial expression, "Wow, the resort has a hot spring! That seems nice." The clerk told her as he pointed to the left side of the lobby, "To reach the indoor hot spring, go to the left side of the lobby. Then, take the elevator upstairs to the first floor." Before she did that, Ichigo went somewhere to find Kiyo.
Elsewhere, Pudding was reading Zeno's three manga books with Zakuro and Mint. They were at a purple table in the dining room, but it was behind the table where Zatch was sitting. Pudding said with concern in her voice, "Deep Blue is going to kill Kish and Tart! This is not good at all." Mint was reading the third volume, and she noticed a strange detail in the book. She told the other girls with an amazed look on her face, "Every time Masaya's name appears in this book, it's always highlighted." Zakuro responded with a serious facial expression, "The Blue Knight's name is highlighted, too."
Lettuce had finished eating her strawberry waffles, and she decided to leave the winter resort to train and to think. She walked into the snow-covered forest, and Lettuce was surrounded by trees. She shouted while opening her green book, "Jikirrei!" Lettuce fired a green beam of wind energy from her hand, and it destroyed some of the trees! She noticed that this spell had gotten stronger, and Lettuce seemed content about that. Suddenly, someone shouted furiously "Ragyuuru!" Lettuce felt something strike her from behind, and she fell down! Lettuce thought to herself, "Well, my opponent had to appear eventually." She got up, and Lettuce turned around to see a mamodo team glaring at her. The mamodo had wings, and his owner had a mask that covered the right side of her face.
She said with a hateful look on her face, "I'm Chita, and he's Rodeaux. You must be the green-haired girl that we heard about. Well, we're here to destroy you." Rodeaux added while glaring at Lettuce, "There's no way that you can beat us!" Lettuce yelled with strong emotions, "Gigano Jikirdo!" A giant green bird appeared, and it was made of wind! It attacked Rodeaux directly with its wind pressure, and a smokescreen happened!
Meanwhile, Ichigo found Kiyo in the winter resort's library. She said nicely, "Hi, Kiyo." He responded with a smile, "Hey, Ichigo. I'm just looking at the spells in Zatch's red book." She sat down at the desk with him, and Ichigo blushed. She asked Kiyo as she looked into his eyes, "Kiyo, do you want to have another date with me?" He said with a calm facial expression, "Well, let's get some food first. Anyway, what are you planning on doing?" Ichigo explained while playing with Kiyo's hair, "The resort has a hot spring, and I was wondering if you wanted to go there with me." He agreed to it, and Ichigo told him to meet her at three o'clock. Then, they went to the dining room.
When the smoke cleared, Lettuce looked shocked. Rodeaux was still standing, and he only suffered minor damages. He told Lettuce in an arrogant tone, "You see, I'm very resistant to many spells. A stupid technique like that won't work on me." Chita screamed violently, "Dio Baooru Ragyuuga!" Rodeaux fired black concentrated beams of energy from his hands, and they quickly struck Lettuce! She was pushed backwards, and Lettuce was slammed against a tree! Rodeaux and Chita walked towards her, but Lettuce stopped them. She asked Chita, "Why do you wear that mask?" Chita explained with an angry facial expression, "I lost an eye, and my boyfriend left me. Anyway, it's time for you to be obliterated!" Lettuce shouted quickly while getting a bottle of elixir out of her pocket, "Hold on! It's time for me to take some medicine, because I've been feeling kind of sick." Lettuce opened the elixir bottle, and she drank what she thought was medicine.
After a few seconds, Lettuce started acting crazy. She unleashed a Jikirga blast from her left hand, and it struck Rodeaux! He exclaimed in amazement, "She didn't even say the spell, so she can probably say it in her head!" Chita wondered with a curious look on her face, "What was that stuff that she drank?" Lettuce jumped into the air, and she kicked Rodeaux with the Leaf Hurricane move!
Meanwhile, Kiyo and Ichigo arrived at the dining room. They sat down together at the green table with Zatch, and Tart brought them two plates of strawberry waffles. Ichigo wondered as she cut her waffles, "Where did Lettuce go, Zatch?" He replied with a nice smile, "She went into the forest, and Lettuce took a yellow bottle of juice with her." Kiyo asked while pointing at a yellow bottle on the table, "Isn't this the juice?" Zatch exclaimed while getting a yellow bottle from another table, "She took this weird kind of juice! It's called Ultra Elixir! The label says that this stuff is really strong. It increases a person's strength, their speed, their spells and taijutsu abilities are more powerful, and the person becomes hyper and unpredictable."
Lettuce acted really hyper, and she began to move really fast! Rodeaux and Chita were amazed by this, and it was hard to keep track of where Lettuce was. She thought to herself, "Gate of Rest, open!" A green aura surrounded her, and Lettuce ran towards Rodeaux! Chita yelled loudly, "Dioga Ragyuuru!" Rodeaux fired giant black blades from his wings, but Lettuce jumped in the air to dodge them! Her high speed movement allowed her to disappear for a few seconds, and she appeared in front of Rodeaux! He was about to punch her, but Lettuce struck him in the chest with a kick from below!
Rodeaux was sent soaring into the air, and Lettuce flew below him! He shouted to Chita, "Her movements are really unpredictable!" Lettuce wrapped her arms around Rodeaux, and she actually had a plan! Lettuce happily shouted, "Let's see if you can handle the Primary Lotus!" The duo started spinning rapidly towards the ground, and Rodeaux screamed. A large smokescreen occurred, and the snow couldn't even cushion their fall.
Lettuce quickly stood up, but she was beginning to sober up. She wondered with a curious facial expression, "What happened?" Rodeaux got up, and he seemed to have taken some damage from the Primary Lotus attack. He exclaimed angrily while pointing at Lettuce, "You're going to wish you hadn't done that! Read the spell, Chita!" She yelled with a fierce look on her face, "Dioga Ragyuuru!" Rodeaux unleashed a barrage of black wind blades from his hands, and most of them hit Lettuce! The other black blades sliced the trees into pieces, and Rodeaux folded his arms. Lettuce thought to herself, "He can resist my spells, and Rodeaux is very fast. However, I refuse to be beaten like this!" Suddenly, Lettuce's green book started glowing! A new spell had been written, and Lettuce read it. She screamed with all of her emotions, "Solar Green Forest Rasengan!"
Then, a pale green Rasengan appeared in her left hand! A dark green Rasengan appeared in her right hand, and Lettuce merged them together to create a natural green Rasengan! This spell took energy from the living things in the forest, which included her opponents!
Lettuce ran towards Rodeaux, and she struck him with the giant green Rasengan! A massive green explosion immediately happened, and Rodeaux didn't have the energy to defend himself. His brown book was caught in the explosion, and green flames were consuming it! He told Chita as he disappeared, "Move past your injury, Chita. Believe in yourself, because your wounds mean nothing." Chita and Lettuce locked eyes for a few seconds, and they went their separate ways.
Meanwhile, Ichigo went to her hotel room to change clothes for the date. She thought to herself, "Kiyo is such a wonderful person. He's so smart and tactical." Kiyo was also changing his clothes for the date, and he smiled when Ichigo was on his mind. Ten minutes later, both of them showed up to the indoor hot spring. Ichigo was wearing a pink bikini, and Kiyo was wearing his blue swim trunks. They blushed at each other, and Kiyo led Ichigo into the hot spring. Kiyo told Ichigo with a calm look on his face, "This is really nice." She responded happily while splashing water at Kiyo, "I'm just thinking about the time that we helped Danny save the statue." Kiyo said while remembering, "You were really good at making those shuriken stop the engines from moving." Ichigo smiled, as she stared at the blue water. Ichigo happily told Kiyo, "I really wish that we were under a mistletoe right now." Kiyo replied as he blushed, "Well, we should save a great kiss like that for Christmas. It's only a few days away." They kissed each other on the cheeks, and Ichigo helped Kiyo get out of the hot spring. They went to their rooms, which were in the opposite directions. As Ichigo walked to her room, a joyful smile appeared on her face.
