The Guild Aftermath Arc[]
He is seen brewing some coffee at the cafe. The next day, he is seen by the agency members injured at the corner, with the cafe ransacked. His wife reveals to the agency that a group demands to see them. He tells them that he is glad that all of them are safe despite him having his thumbnail removed.[1]
Sky Casino Arc[]
The store manager's lie was discovered by Jono.
He welcomes two customers and asks for their orders and asks if they are police officers, to which both of the customers confirmed that they are investigating a case. The police officer then confirmed if the agency's office is upstairs, to which the store manager confirmed. The police then showed a picture of a girl to confirm if she was the one doing part-time at the cafe. Once again, the store manager confirms this. The police officer questions the store manager about their waitress Lucy, whom the manager dismisses as a negligible employee, possibly quite insignificant to their investigation. However, the police officer was able to read through his lie.[2]
After the police officer has seen his lies, the store manager quietly panics. During this, the other fellow officer negotiates with him to share her location, in exchange for not filing any charges against her. He then tells them that he does not want to help Lucy, but the agency as well. The police officers promised not to execute the agency. After the negotiation, he reveals that Lucy is headed to the Sky Casino.[3]
