On June 22nd, Rise and her grandmother run Marukyu Tofu together, and a large crowd of people come to see Rise. Some disappointed men leave the store, complaining about only an older woman being there. Inside, Rise's grandmother asks Yosuke Hanamura, Kanji Tatsumi, and the protagonist if she can help them with anything.

The following day, the Investigation Team and Tohru Adachi apprehend a suspicious photographer outside of Marukyu Tofu, and they return to the store to tell Rise the good news. However, they only find her grandmother there. She thinks that Rise gone out by herself and comments on how she seems to do that quite often, especially with how tired she has been lately.
