Hayate is ready to fight. However, the boy, Koutarou Azumamiya, who challenged him calls his butler, Kaede Nonohara, to fight instead. The butler then punished the challenger for being a coward. Himuro informed Hayate that being a butler is a big responsibility to guide his master to the right course. Hinagiku then stops them and the battle starts. Hayate stands no chance against Kaede since he lacks a last-minute powerful move. However, he eventually wins by using Koutarou who challenged him as shield calling it the "Art of Changing Bodies". Kaede leaves while carrying an unconscious Koutarou and hopes to fight Hayate again someday. Nagi still unwilling to go back into kendo but compliments Hayate's victory.
