After hearing news that he may not have that much time to live, Ruri was forced to pay him a visit, and was even coerced to invite Raku to pretend as her boyfriend when the household mistook him as so.

When they arrived at Yoshizou's house, the old man became acquainted with Shū Maiko after the latter sold his rare photos of Ruri to him.
