When Akito and Arumi Ashimine first entered Mayoiga, Yasuki fired arrows at them on site. Arumi was able to use her powers to predict his shots, helping Akito avoid his attacks. Their fight was interrupted by Mimane Miyou who excitedly and curiously approached the newcomers. Akito and Arumi were introduced to Tanmen and the other members of Mayoiga. Tanmen apologized on Yasuki's behalf, but when told to apologize himself, Yasuki remained silent. Yasuki would later apologize to Akito, stating Mimane getting too excited about the outside world whenever newcomers arrive as his reason.

Yasuki accompanied Akito, Arumi, Mimane, Chikage and Shinshou to capture the black mass that Arumi saw in her divination. After a few years in their capture, the mass would reveal itself as Azami. Azami gave them the information they required about a weakened god from whom they could take a Stone Shard from, providing them a plan to carry out their goals under the condition they follow her terms.
