Plot[]

He first showed up after the joukans were put on the dismissal list to investigate Kou Shuurei and Shin Suou. He pretended to be an unrefined joukan who wanted to stay at the court. While at it he began to suspect Riku Seiga since he didn't look like a person about to be fired. Later when they were alone, Seiga, who was monitoring Shuurei under Ki Kouki's orders also became suspiscious of You Shuu and confronted him about his identity while You Shuu dropped his act revealing his actual sophisticated and aristocratic manner. He later sent a report to Reishin saying Suou had a lot of potential however Shuurei was too soft and unsuitable for the court suggesting that with her temperament, she would do better at a rural area. He ended his report saying he wouldn't mind marrying Shuurei causing Reishin to go on a rampage.

After Li Kouyuu's dismissal, he was appointed the deputy secretary of the department.

Li Kouyuu[]

He was Kouyuu's senior before he became the deputy secretary. He had high hopes for him believing that he could change something that his father couldn't. But, when Kouyuu was dismissed, he was disappointed to see that he lost his position just to defend the one he loves just like his father and was useless.

Kou Reishin[]

Reishin was his superior prior to his dismissal. Shuu never respected Reishin much because he had no motivation in work but still held his position for the sake of those he cares about notably for Kou Shouka, Tei Yuushun and his son Kouyuu. But he didn't hate him but actually liked him a bit even knowing what Reishin likes. He was surprised to know that Resihin also knew what he liked causing him to regret his dismissal for a slight second. He likes listening to Reishin' s biwa.
