Ikkyu

Millionaire Village

Ikkyu is the butler working for the Mountain Gods in Millionaire Village. He watches the residents of the village to see if they have good manners or not, as the place is under a certain curse where those who show manners gain something and become rich, while those who don't lose something precious to them, such as a friend or family member. When his masters decide to sell another house, Ikkyu greets customers Rohan Kishibe and Kyoka Izumi at the front door of the gates.↗

Ikkyu appears almost immediately after she barely sips the tea and asks them to leave. He mentions that Izumi has already breached three rules of good manners and the land will not be sold to rude people. Izumi is confused, but Ikkyu goes on to explain that as guests, they should have not shamelessly sat in the "seats of honor," which are located across from the entrance: until the host arrives, the proper thing to do is to wait in the lower seats facing the other wall.↗

Izumi begs Ikkyu for another try at displaying good manners, to which the butler complies and goes to relay this request to the masters. Rohan suddenly realizes a baby bird he found earlier and kept in his pocket had died, while Izumi receives a phone call and learns her mom and fiancee were in a car crash together and died.↗

Rohan begs the butler to forgive her, but he says there is no compromise when it comes to manners. When Rohan agrees to another test, he is presented with a plate of corn alongside various utensils. Ikkyu asks Rohan how he would go about eating the corn; Rohan states that using utensils would be too obvious a trap, and that the correct way is eating it with his bare hands.↗

Ikkyu cries that Rohan has cheated, and that cheating will incur the wrath of the gods; Rohan disagrees, noticing that he hasn't been punished for Ikkyu's transgression. Ikkyu asks Rohan if he would like another test, but Rohan declines, stating that he is leaving and is never coming back. As he carries Izumi outside the villa, he notices that the baby bird has returned to a healthy state.↗↗
