Lao Fu's connections went without saying, and with Azumi's own hard work, she had become a full member of the Dewford Gym.
Recently, because Lao Fu had been feeling unwell, his grandsons and granddaughter had been taking turns coming back to look after him. It happened to be Azumi's turn.

"I wasn't ordering tickets." Wen Jiu
