Ryuubi is really happy about giving her sword back. In the way to return Touka, the party stops to rest in a village. They're mistaken to bandits, then their leaders Riten and Ukin attack them. Shortly after that, the mistake is clear and their other leader, Gakushin, brings a formal excusement to them. They find out Gakushin's group plans to join Sousou's army due to her good impression, but the bandits around there attack them many times and they don't have plans to defeat all the bandits, though. Ryuubi's party decide to help them. Koumei plans to use the Ryuujin-ko (the near lake) to help defeat the bandits (a flood attack using the rain, the bridge, the lake and the riverbed). They build a floodgate due to Riten's construction talent.
Following the tactic, a small group attacks the bandits' camp to lure out them. When they arrive the riverbed, Riten will follow Koumei and Ryuubi's signal to open the floodgate to use the water attack. But the large rock falls and halts the water. Ryuubi uses her sword to a lightning rod and the lightning breaks the large rock. Finally, the flood attack is successful. Ryuubi asks Kan-u to be her younger sister, but Chouhi says she only accepts Ryuubi as her older sister, and the bond is built.
ようやく宝剣を取り戻し、ご機嫌の劉備。夕暮れ時に訪れた村で、一行は山賊に間違えられてしまう…。そんな時に、その村を護衛していた楽進・于禁・李典の三人で出会う。三人は曹操の軍へ士官を求める為の旅の途中だったのだという。
Ryuubi está muy feliz de haberle devuelto la espada. En el camino para regresar a Touka, el grupo se detiene para descansar en un pueblo. Los confunden con bandidos, luego sus líderes Riten y Ukin los atacan. Poco después, el error es claro y su otro líder, Gakushin, les presenta una disculpa formal. Descubren que el grupo de Gakushin planea unirse al ejército de Sousou debido a su buena impresión, pero los bandidos los atacan muchas veces y, sin embargo, no tienen planes para derrotar a todos los bandidos. El grupo de Ryuubi decide ayudarlos. Koumei planea usar Ryuujin-ko (el lago cercano) para ayudar a derrotar a los bandidos (un ataque de inundación usando la lluvia, el puente, el lago y el lecho del río). Construyen una compuerta debido al talento de construcción de Riten. Siguiendo la táctica, un pequeño grupo ataca el campamento de los bandidos para atraerlos.
