Here she asks Shizuno if she would like to watch a mahjong title match featuring Sukoya Kokaji, who was responsible for knocking Achiga out of the inter-high tournament a few years back. She appears later to inform Kuro Matsumi and the others that Shizuno was off hiking in the mountains when they were looking for her.
