Sayuri develops a crush on Kousaku, leading private detective Shirachi Kogoro to investigate his ties to Hibari. Kogoro discovers Hibari was assigned male at birth, prompting Sayuri to vow to defeat Hibari and claim Kousaku. She feigns illness to enter the Oozora house, where Shiina warns that Sayuri falls for every man she meets. Sayuri attempts to seduce Kousaku but is intercepted by Hibari, who reveals her transgender status. Sayuri claims she will save Kousaku from his dangerous lifestyle.
