Summary
Shizuku tells her brother that she had wanted to meet with him for a long time and proceeds to kiss him, shocking Ikki and Stella both. When questioned of her actions Shizuku replied that it was to show her affection toward Ikki. Shizuku then tries for another kiss with Ikki but is stopped by Stella who pushes Ikki away and gets in front of Shizuku. Shizuku asked Stella why she would care so much about what she does with her brother to which Stella replied that she would not have a pervert for a master, revealing even that he ordered her to sleep with him much to Ikki's dismay. Hearing such things, however, Shizuku refused to actually believe them and when Ikki told her that it was true she had called him a liar, and even believed that Stella herself is making him say such things. Shizuku then vows to free Ikki from his entrapment and calls out her device, Yoishigure. Ikki tries to stop her but Shizuku is confident that she will win, even if she is a B rank, as she has the element of water while Stella has the element of fire. Stella then draws her device out, ready to fight Shizuku, causing all the students, including Ikki to leave, as they both clash, causing a big explosion in the classroom.

Ikki sees the notice board, which that the in the aftermath of Stella and Shizuku's clash they would both be put under detention in their rooms. After reading the notice board Ikki then leaves sighing heavily.

Ikki thinks back to four years ago, during which a young Ikki, while studying, notices a young Shizuku watching him. He asked her what was the matter, as she tried to hide behind the door panel and Shizuku asked what book Ikki was reading. Ikki told her it was a book on sword play causing her to blush.

Ikki, in the present, is then seen in his room thinking of how much Shizuku had changed from back then. Ikki is then confronted by Stella, who noticed that Ikki was willing to do a second kiss with his sister. Ikki tries to explain but admits that he might have been captivated by how much his sister appearance had changed, causing Stella to angry at Ikki and making Ikki believe there maybe something wrong with him, as he steps in to take a shower. Stella, by herself is angry that Ikki hasn't done anything to show he wants to get along with her and is worried that he is not interested in her as the opposite sex and more into females with his sister's body type.

Ikki is then seen in the bath tub, thinking about Stella's situation as well as being interested in her as an opposite sex, believing her to be amazing. Stella then comes in with a bikini on, with the intention to wash Ikki as a servant, even though Ikki thought it to be strange. While Ikki was worried about controlling his senses, Stella notices that Ikki had been staring at her since she had gotten in, evidence that he is not disgusted by her body. Stella, while washing Ikki's back, then asks Ikki if he liked girl's breast, to which and initially shocked Ikki replied yes. Stella then hugs Ikki's back, and immediately runs out the door, leaving Ikki shocked and confused.
