Apparently Kurosagi does know that Katsuragi was the one who ruined his family. We see a flashback of Kurosaki trying to stab Katsuragi in the rain. Why he wound up working with him I do not know.

Yukari hands out flyers to everyone promoting Kurosagi’s “services.” Is she stupid or what? Like Tsurara said, that’s only going to get him arrested.

Kurosagi’s next victim is a psychic guy (Liar Game anyone?). But he tells the woman whose mother was swindled that the psychic guy’s powers are fake. Anyone can make basic inferences from simple observation. Plus, we also learn that the psychic guy, who studied psychology in America, speaks bad Engrish. Yamapi was so funny looking at Psychic Guy and his girlfriend outside their window and making hand gestures.

Yukari overhears Tsurara’s confession to Kurosagi. The next day, Tsurara feels awkward, but Kurosagi obviously didn’t take her seriously and tells her to move out anyway.

He gets a new victim – Sata Hiromichi, a swindler just released from prison. He’s using a pyramid tactic to get lots of money without having to spend a penny.

(We later see a scene where Tsurara’s walking down the street and a guy behind her falls off a ladder and no one cares. A moment later, everyone in the scene is gone…)

Katsuragi seems to like Tsurara. She suggests putting some green tea in the Japanese pickles and he smiles. Later, when she sees Kurosagi again, her heart starts beating quickly. She realizes that she likes him. Her father visits her and asks for money for his investment and she yells at him for not being there for her mother when she was sick.

A company executive is scammed of 1 billion yen by an employee from a partner company. Kurosagi goes to find the swindler, but Katsuragi’s helper waitress is worried that this challenge would be difficult for Kurosagi. He himself notes that this surosagi is high-class if the information fee on him is 100 million yen.

When Kurosagi goes to see this swindler, Shiraishi Yoishi, the swindler acts like a total idiot who speaks very loudly. But Kurosagi makes a mistake on his business card and the swindler asks if he’s related to a guy from the Hamashita group. Later, he even invites Kurosagi out to a hostess club.

Yukari introduces Kurosagi to her friend who got swindled (just so she has an excuse to see him again). Her friend was tricked into going into a jewelry store with a guy who pretended to be a father looking for a ring for his daughter’s birthday. The employee from the jewelry store actually let him take the ring outside so he could see it in natural light since she thought Yukari’s friend was his daughter. When he didn’t return, Yukari’s friend had to pay. Kurosagi finds out the swindler is a jewelry cutter who is using the rings to design his own jewelry.
