The train that Yahiko was on stopped at a train station in Germany. Yahiko got of, thinking of a place to stay. He strayed around town, looking. He stopped by a small house and knocked on the door. A young girl answered the door.

"Uh, hi," Yahiko greeted her. "Uh, do you have a place where I can stay? 'Cause I-"

He was cut off by the girl, who slapped him on his cheek.

"Hey!" Yahiko raised his voice. "What was that for!"

"It's so improper of you to go around random houses asking for a place to stay!" the girl exclaimed. "Now get out, you piece of scum!" She pushed him out of the doorway and shut the door.

"Gosh," Yahiko said, rubbing the back of his head. "Well, these people are sure nice."

Then, he saw a mansion, sitting behind the house he just visited. So he asked a boy who was walking by,
"Do you know who lives in that mansion?"

The boy disgustingly replied, "How could you not know who lives there... everyone knows it's Yutaro, the boy with that broken arm of his who keeps practicing with his wooden sword..."

"So his arm's still broken?"

"I wish it was." The boy walked away as Yahiko gazed at the big house.

He started his way towards the mansion, where Yutaro is known to live. Once he got there, the door was wide open where a man was standing.

"What do you want here, boy?" he asked.

"Does Yutaro live here?" Yahiko questioned him.

"Right this way."

Yahiko followed the man. He led Yahiko outside, where Yutaro was practicing with his shinai, but his arm was free from the cast he once had on before leaving Tokyo.

"Yutaro," the man replied. "You have a visitor." The man left to go inside.

"Well," Yutaro said, looking at Yahiko. "You finally showed up."

"What!" Yahiko shouted. "You were expecting me to come here all this time!"

"Don't tell me you chickened out."

"No. You chickened out. You never came back to Tokyo."

Yutaro laughed and said, "You must've not been listening, then. I clearly said I would not be returning to Tokyo. But why have you come?"

"I'm looking for a place to stay."

"You can certainly stay here, but tonight, we fight."

"You're on!" Yahiko said, giving a thumb's up.

"Now do my laundry," Yutaro added, handing Yahiko a pile of laundry.

"Gr! Now you're definitely going to lose!" Yahiko shouted as he headed inside to work on his "surprise" chore.
