Seigi begins working at "Jewelry Etranger." Richard tells him "you will exhibit no prejudice, nor speak in a discriminatory manner," but fails to understand his intention.
One day, Akashi Mami comes to get a ruby valuated with the strange request to determine if the gemstone has been heated or not.
Mami's brooding expression reminds Seigi of his grandmother, and he is curious.
Meanwhile, Mami's troubled fiancee Homura Takashi arrives at the store...
Between a drably colored unheated ruby 
and a clear red heated ruby,
بين اللّون القاتم للياقوت غير المسخّن 
،والأحمر النّاصع للياقوت المسخّن
Hier ist ein etwas matter Rubin
ohne Wärmebehandlung
Entre un rubí opaco sin calentar
y uno rojo claro que se calentó,
Entre un rubí opaco sin calentar
y uno rojo claro que se calentó,
Entre un rubis non chauffé
plus foncé
Tra un rubino dal colore spento non riscaldato
e uno dal colore brillante riscaldato,
Entre um rubi não aquecido de cor nebulosa e
um rubi aquecido de um vermelho transparente,
Есть негретый рубин тусклого цвета
и гретый рубин чистого красного цвета.
