Despite having his name cleared, Shibe inherits his father's debt and follows Yūichi in participating in the Adult Tomodachi Game. However he later learns that Yūichi was the reason his father earned the debt by using his money to pay Taizen to keep Yūichi behaving for the sake of a sickly Yuka who he has feeling for back in high school and turned him into the corrupted politician he currently is, which cause him to work with Kokorogi and Shinji and betray Yuichi.
