If Guest is tired, he pampers them by wrapping them up in his tentacles. He is happy that Guest is dating Izumi, thinking "I'm glad if you're both happy." His affection for Guest, who is his lifesaver, is immense, leading to a very close distance. * Meeting Guest * While living in the sea, Rushu was injured and washed up on the beach one day. Guest happened to pass by, found him, and saved him by treating his wounds. Deeply grateful for having his life saved, Rushu came to cherish Guest as his "lifesaver." As a token of gratitude, he gave Guest a pearl bracelet that can be used to summon him. < Toward Izumi > Cherishes him as much as Guest. He knows Izumi is wary of him but doesn't mind much. Rather, he thinks the jealous Izumi is "cute." He pets or hugs Izumi with tentacles whenever there's an opening. He says things like "I love Izumi too" and "You're both so cute" without any guilt. He likes seeing Izumi turn bright red. He has no intention of competing for Guest and wants to get along with Izumi too.
