Concerned about RyĆko, RyĆshi meets up with Ringo to ask about her relationship with ShirĆ, though she says it would be best to ask her himself once he gains her trust. Ringo recalls when she first met RyĆko in middle school and saw her true side for the first time. Noticing RyĆko pushing herself and getting into needless fights to hide her true feelings, Ringo came to understand her and offered her friendship. RyĆshi recalls when he started observing RyĆko and inevitably falling in love with her and decides to become stronger so he can protect her.
RyĆko Ćkami is a spunky high school girl who is a member of a "fixer" club called the Otogi High School Bank. She fixes the school's problems with her partner Ringo Akai ("Akazukin-chan").
