Jinnai goes on to say how he struck up a friendship with Shota throughout the years. Jinnai tells Ichiban that Shota reminds him of his son that he has who is around the same age as Shota. After talking to Jinnai, he then walks off. Ichiban once again encounters Jinnai on East Central Street. Jinnai tells Ichiban that the kid likes to read and Ichiban responds with the fact that Jinnai should build a bookshelf to give to Shota. Jinnai also asks for Ichiban's help in the construction and gathering of the materials in order to make this bookshelf. In the Bar District, Ichiban comes across a group of karate students who are breaking boards. Ichiban inquires if he can have the wood that they are using to break boards. The karate instructor agrees to give Ichiban the wood if they will provide alternative training. After defeating the karate students, Ichiban has the wood that he needs for the bookshelf and now just has to find the nails. 
In the Commercial District on Central Street, Ichiban comes across a tepid man being surrounding by a group of thugs. They are trying to extort money from the man. The group has a set of bats lined with nails and Ichiban realizes that these would be useful for him to use in constructing the bookshelf. After defeating the thugs, Ichiban has all the supplies that he needs to make the bookshelf. He takes them to Jinnai at South Sakura River Street. After the two build the bookshelf, Shota shows up and is delighted to receive the gift. Ichiban than offers to go to Isezaki Road with Jinnai to get a meal.
When they arrive at Isezaki Road they see the bookshelf on top a pile of garbage. Jinnai feels rejected and down as a result of his gift being not accepted. Ichiban decides that he needs to go check on him to make sure that he is alright. Ichiban meets up with Jinnai at the Sunrise Bridge. Shota once again shows up and explains that he didn't throw away the bookshelf. Shota says that he wanted to keep it, but his father made him throw it out. His father then shows up and challenges Ichiban to a battle. After defeating Shota's father, it is revealed that he forgot Shota's birthday entirely because he has been working too much.
