Kyōraku asks for Starrk to send Lilynette away since the two of them cannot fight with their full power if Lilynette is present. Lilynette is about to make a fuss, but Starrk tells her to be quiet and answers Kyōraku by saying that he will not fight with his full strength also as it is not his style of doing things. Starrk tells them that he would prefer if they just pretended to fight and Kyōraku states that he would prefer doing that as well, but cannot this time. Starrk draws his sword and remarks that this is going to be a pain.
