Riku's brother Kaito Kondou calls him and asks him for a favor, to give some cigarettes to a friend and collect something from him. Riku agrees and after returning, he meets Yuma, a friend of Kaito. She invites him for drinks and they celebrate. In the morning, Riku's head hurts and he decides to skip school. Things keep repeating and Riku is aware he is dealing with drugs, but as he is having fun, he doesn't mind. He keeps spending time with Yuma, who even tells him about breaking him with her boyfriend. One day, he receives a call from her, asking him to come quickly. As he goes, he is attacked by two men and Yuma explains that his brother Kaito had run with the drug money. They want to know where Kaito went, however Riku isn't aware of anything.

Juda Kawamura shows up and states he will be taking Riku. At first Yuma disagrees, but as she can't deny Juda, she allows it. They go into his bar, where Juda explains that Kaito had screwed him and other people too. Riku knew that one day his brother would leave him as he is messing with bad people. Juda states that he is also looking for Kaito, but he will find him even without Riku's help. Juda the explains that he loves high school students, he enjoys women from 10 to 70, but the high school ones think they are all grown up and are easy to manipulate, although he was never with a boy. Riku starts to tremble, but Juda laughs and then calls someone, telling him that a high school student with yellow tie is with him. Takayanagi then comes and wants they to leave quickly as Juda is "evil", however Juda starts debating with him and that he judged him without even knowing anything. They kept talking and Riku expressed his desire to return to school. Juda then calls Yuma, telling her to leave Riku to him. Before leaving, Juda tells Takayanagi to come to his bar sometime as he enjoy talking with "righteous" people like him.

As they left, Takayanagi explains that two years ago, Juda had seduced a student of his. The girl has been trying to kill herself, but after entering Juda's dark world, she stopped thinking of that.
