While Yagami is still at the ADDC, he decides that he needs to talk to Shono and try to find out why Shintani called him. By speaking to the receptionist, Yagami learns that Shono is located in the research department. After checking the facility's directory, an assistant researcher named Hashimoto tells you that she is heading back to Shono's research lab and that Yagami and Hoshino can follow her.

After the completion of the side case Partners, Sugiura calls Yagami and tells him to meet at Koi Bride.
