**Rushia Andou** (安藤 瑠士亜, *Andō Rushia*), professionally known as **Andalucía** (アンダルシア *Andarushia*), is the mediator of Roppongi.

Andalucía is a beautiful woman who dresses to match, wearing an elegant light-hued blouse tucked into a dark skirt and a tasteful set of earrings and necklace at her introduction. Her straight brunette hair falls to rest beneath her shoulders.

## Chronology

During the battle of Shinjuku waged between Corpse God and Civil A. Sabaramond, two junior Atelier snipers who answer to Andalucía fire a warning shot at Hīro and Rinne Horojima, two snipers that answer to Lisa Kuraki. When a sniper tries unsuccessfully to kill Polka Shinoyama over a two kilometer distance days later, Hīro tells Lisa that the Atelier snipers are capable of making such a shot.

When Shibuya's mediator Kuon Higuro goes missing, Andalucía and other mediators issue a summons to his potential replacement—Yumeji Agakura—so that they may assess Yumeji's candidacy. Due to Yumeji's summer classes, the meeting is scheduled to take place at night. Andalucía and Shinjuku mediator Lisa Kuraki are the first to arrive—discounting Katashiro, whom neither notice—each respectively guarded by Atelier snipers one & two and Misaki Sakimiya & Kazami Asaura. In addition to her two guards, Andalucía has brought several armed men who aim their handguns at Lisa's bodyguards as instructed beforehand.

Andalucía signals for the men to stand down so that she may learn why Lisa has switched from trying to kill Polka Shinoyama to actively supporting him. Like Lisa, Andalucía, the newly arriving Gioacchino Soldati, and a belatedly noticed Katashiro have all received requests offering 500 million yen for Polka's head; as all are collectively interested in the bounty, so too are they interested in reasons why one ought *not* to try and claim it. Lisa claims that the bounty was predicated on false information—a claim that Polka was no ordinary high school student—and she has a zero tolerance policy when it comes to clients who lie.

Lisa challenges Andalucía over the Atelier sniper's warning shot, which she says she will overlook only the once. One of Andalucía's men calls Lisa a "mouthy bitch" and aims his gun at her head, asking permission to shoot; Andalucía shoots him through the head instead as a demonstration of her own zero-tolerance policy for the word 'bitch'. The tense atmosphere shifts when a late-arriving Yumeji joins the mediators at their card table and introduces himself, flanked by his bodyguard sisters.

It is Lisa who takes the lead on interviewing Yumeji, first asking him to verify the Agakura Clan's potential involvement in Kuon Higuro's disappearance, then interrogating him on the Agakuras' known involvement in Higuro's kidnapping of her man Takumi Kuruya. During her interrogation, she deliberately lets slip that the Agakuras are tangling with the Shinoyama Group's guards, leaving Andalucía and the other mediators to puzzle over just how the Shinoyamas and Shinjuku are connected.

After the meeting concludes with the mediators' formal acknowledgement of Yumeji as the new Shibuya mediator, Andalucía shifts her attention from Yumeji back to Lisa. She has long blamed Miyabi Hosorogi for Lisa's "mellowing out," but the corpselike state of Misaki has Andalucía reassessing the situation: Lisa may not have mellowed out after all, since she seems to have managed fashioning Misaki into a perfect, inhumane killer. Before the mediators part ways, Andalucía tells Yumeji that she has high hopes for his tenure as mediator.
