Plot
Elma invites Tohru to start training with Tohru because their bodies were becoming dull. Kobayashi wonders why they always seem to be fighting. Kobayashi thinks that Tohru and Elma might potentially settle a grudge. Fafnir asks Kobayashi why she decided to bring him along. Before Kobayashi could answer, Elma and Tohru begin fighting each other. Their fight is causing damage to their surroundings. Kobayashi attempts to call Tohru, however, Fafnir calls out to Kobayashi. Fafnir informs Kobayashi that she will be the one to decide when their fight ends.

Elma begins to get the upper hand on Tohru, so Tohru asks if Elma is trying to settle everything between them. Elma asks Tohru that if she would win, would Tohru return back to her world. Elma is unsatisfied with Tohru's response and believes that Tohru is still a danger. Fafnir explains that within Elma's heart there is a space where there is still a distance from humans. Since Elma has been used and betrayed before, she has to have doubt for Tohru. Tohru tells Elma that she is not thinking about doing anything bad to humans, that she only wants to learn about their culture. Elma then reminds Tohru about a festival they went to in another world. Elma reminds Tohru that she did not even participate in it, that Tohru just made fun of them. Elma tells Tohru that she was so worried after Tohru had disappeared, and she was mad that when she found Tohru, that Tohru just ignored her and continued being friendly with the humans. Elma then exclaims that she just wants Tohru to get along with her like in the old times.

Tohru then apologizes for what she did in the past, but since it was the past it is over. Tohru then asks Elma if they should finish what they started, which Elma agrees with. Tohru and Elma then resume fighting and Fafnir decides to head home. Kobayashi comments that she has seen plenty of fights between dragons, and watching Tohru's and Elma's fight is relaxing. Tohru's and Elma's fight has ended and they both are relaxing on the grass, both say they had won the fight and say that Kobayashi should treat them to dinner. Kobayashi decides to treat them both.
