His resolve is challenged when he meets Ryouko Satou, a girl who wears a blue cape and claims to be a researcher from another world searching for the Dragon Terminal. Although Ichirou initially avoids her because she reminds him of his own embarrassing history, he decides to help her after witnessing her be bullied by classmates. To bring Ryouko back to reality, Ichirou must accept his past and once again adopt the persona of Maryuuin Kouga.
