Shinobu Mail, Part Five.The first minion says he won't attack Koyomi because, as a specialist, he respects Yotsugi's mark - the footprint she left on his face. He asks Koyomi to break up with Shinobu as he wants to apologize to and team up with her, but Koyomi doubts his intentions. The first minion tricks Koyomi into drinking holy water, circumventing Yotsugi's mark by making Koyomi poison himself, but Episode and Gaen intervene just in time. After challenging Koyomi to a duel, the first minion leaves unhindered by Gaen and Episode. Back at the shrine Koyomi meets Yotsugi and watches Suruga trying to convince a threatening Shinobu to meet with her first minion claiming she should confront her first one and his feelings even if it might end badly. Shinobu retreats into the shrine, pouting, and Koyomi asks Yotsugi to remove the mark. Episode informs him they have prepared his high school's courtyard to serve as dueling grounds.
