Between Blood and Booze

Between Blood and Booze (, Haruko no Monogatari, Lit. "Haruko's Story") is the 35th side case in Lost Judgment. Its completion is required to progress the school story Girls' Bar.
==Plot==
Yagami asks Haruko for more personal information about her. He asks about her family, and she admits she has not spoken to her father in roughly two years after getting into a fight with him from talking about her desire to be independent. Although she visited her home, she was not able to talk to him. He still pays for her tuition and living situation, but she feels guilty about it.
The next time Yagami visits her after reaching 90% friendship, Haruko is the only worker present due to the others leaving early and Emily oversleeping. Two drunk businessmen arrive at the bar, and Haruko recognizes one of them as her father, and though he find her familiar, he is too intoxicated to completely recognize his daughter. She states he is confusing her with a famous star known as Ayuko Mitsuyama, and the manager has passed out.
Haruko calls Yagami to the side, and expresses concern over the circumstances. She asks him to make sure Kawasaki remains drunk to prevent him from recognizing her by encouraging him to keep drinking, as he sobers up quickly. Yagami takes his chance to ask him to drink together. After a few drinks, Kawasaki starts talking about his daughter, and complains she never talks to him in spite of all he has done for her, but states he is still proud of her and laments that he may have been too protective. He states he is happy as long as she thrives, but hopes that one day he gets to have drinks with her.
Kawasaki passes out, which Haruko notes is the first instance she has witnessed. She and Yagami help get the two businessmen into a taxi meant for their house, as people from their company would pass the night there if they passed out. Haruko states she wants to mend her relationship with her father the next time she sees him, and maybe even have drinks together. In his sleep, Kawasaki expresses his joy.
