The Like A Dragon Gaiden Ayu relationship puts you back in the booths of Heaven's Cloud as you get to know the club's more athletic hostess. Like the series' other hostess segments, you'll need to say the right things and conduct yourself appropriately if you want to improve your relationship with Ayu, and it's not always easy to predict what counts as correct.

Our Like A Dragon Gaiden Ayu guide lists all the correct answers for every topic and offers tips for how to boost your relationship quickly.

How to romance Ayu in Like A Dragon Gaiden

Your relationship with Ayu follows a similar pattern as the one with Kei or any of the hostesses at the Castle club. You arrive, pay an entrance fee, and spend some time with the hostess of your choice – that’d be Ayu. You’ll need to buy drinks and possibly give presents to have a better chance of improving your relationship significantly, but the real progress comes from talking. Every interaction either raises or lowers Ayu’s affection meter, depending on what you do.

After finishing Ayu’s relationship arc and seeing her final scene, I haven’t found that she has a favorite drink. Like in previous Yakuza games, Ayu is happier the more money you spend, so set aside some yen and buy an expensive bottle of something when she asks you for a drink.

Gaiden divides your time with hostesses into ranks – zero, one, and two. Each rank comes with new conversation topics to choose, and while you can pick the topics in any order, every relationship rank starts and ends with a pre-set question.

Make sure to buy and use the Mini-More Perfume from Ebisu before starting a date. It gives you a slight affection boost for every positive action.

Ayu gifts

As far as I could tell, Ayu’s gift preferences are similar to Kei’s. She likes:
