Rumi takes the Detective Boys camping. Conan is suspicious of her and thought of strange things that he noticed in her present. When they approach a group cooking curry over a fire near by, one of them mentions that he has an injured eye and nearly had to get a prosthetic eye. Rumi clenches up, and Conan notices her gripping something in her pocket. A little bit later one of the other campers is burned alive inside his own tent. Kuroda emerges from an adjacent tent and asks her whether the police should be called. However Rumi is standing in stunned silence, staring forward. When she snaps back to reality, Haibara seems to notice that Rumi can't see out of her right eye. Conan starts to wonder if Rumi is clumsy on purpose or that she cannot see so she is clumsy. When Kuroda seems to know the order that everyone introduced themselves in, despite originally claiming to have had earplugs in while sleeping. Rumi accuses him of spying on someone. Rumi has the Detective Boys build an acorn balance toy, which leads to the solution of the case. After Conan and Kuroda uncover the culprit, the culprit uses Ayumi as a hostage, Rumi manages to distract him long enough for Kuroda and Yuminaga to arrest him. Kuroda showed interest in the intimidating words that Rumi used to distract him. On the other hand, Conan becomes more suspicious of Rumi, and notices a strange object in her back pocket that has a shape similar to that of a Shogi piece. | Rumi takes the Detective Boys camping.

Then he says, "So they're going to kill me despite that?" She then remembers him dead, with some sort of blood pouring out of his mouth, and she calls him a "foolish person", while pressing down on her right eye and crouching down on the ground. Conan sees her pressing down on her right eye and seems to connect it to an eye disorder. Rumi sees Conan tranquilizing Yamamura to make his deduction and gives a slight smirk. When Ayumi gives a 4-leaf clover to Rumi, saying that because Rumi is clumsy she needs good fortune, Rumi waits for the Detective Boys in front of her to look away, except Conan who is standing behind her looking at her, and throws away the 4-leaf clover. Conan notices her doing this and appears angry at her for it (or cognizant why she does not feel she needs it) as Rumi's face is in shadow. | ||

Among the Detective Boys, Rumi shows special interest in Conan for unknown reasons. In the old warehouse case, Rumi was only paying attention to Conan and purposely uses clumsiness in order to give Conan the necessary hints to solve the case. When a murder case occured in her apartment, Conan found a receipt that has that day's morning and noticed she has bought additional plates and mugs. Conan eventually realized the reason behinds his sensei's actions. Rumi sensed a murder might occur in her apartment and was from the very beginning planning to invite the Detective Boys, especially Conan so he would become involved in the case.

So in one case, he leads Yamamura, who is to play the role of the sleeping detective here, to a tree to try to evade Rumi's scrutiny. Regardless, she still sees him use the tranquilizer dart on Yamamura and smirks. At one point, Conan notices Rumi pressing down on her right eye and seems to connect it to an eye disorder. Conan sees Rumi throwing away the 4-leaf clover Ayumi gave her and appears angry at her for it. Later, Rumi demonstrated a concerning level of apathy towards the Detective Boys.

Relationships analysis
Conan Edogawa, Ai Haibara, and Detective Boys
Rumi is the new deputy homeroom teacher for Conan Edogawa, Ai Haibara, and the Detective Boys' class. She has approached them directly twice to lead them to the warehouse of the school that a robber group had used. Rumi is aware of three of Professor Agasa's gadgets given to the Detective Boys: the flashlight watch, the detective badge, and the tranquilizer dart. Among the Detective Boys, Rumi shows special interest in Conan for unknown reasons. In the old warehouse case, Rumi was only paying attention to Conan and purposely uses clumsiness in order to give Conan the necessary hints to solve the case. When a murder case occured in her apartment, Conan found a receipt that has that day's morning and noticed she has bought additional plates and mugs. Conan eventually realized the reason behinds his sensei's actions. Rumi sensed a murder might occur in her apartment and was from the very beginning planning to invite the Detective Boys, especially Conan so he would become involved in the case. It seems Rumi is somehow testing Conan's intelligence and skills for unknown reasons.
Rumi at one point seems to trigger Haibara's skill at detecting Black Organization members, but Ai Haibara later tells Conan that she likes Rumi and wants to hear nothing bad said about her. Conan becomes increasingly distrustful of Rumi as time goes on, being reluctant to use his tranquilizer dart in front of her. So in one case, he leads Yamamura, who is to play the role of the sleeping detective here, to a tree to try to evade Rumi's scrutiny. Regardless, she still sees him use the tranquilizer dart on Yamamura and smirks. At one point, Conan notices Rumi pressing down on her right eye and seems to connect it to an eye disorder. Conan sees Rumi throwing away the 4-leaf clover Ayumi gave her and appears angry at her for it. Later, Rumi demonstrated a concerning level of apathy towards the Detective Boys. She allowed them to thrown in harm's way by letting their teacher, Sumiko, be bait by exchanging umbrellas, allowing her to snipe the Black Organization back.
Rumi has a interest in Ai Haiabra since she says she resembled the woman (Ai mother) who ruined her.[1]
Sumiko Kobayashi
Sumiko Kobayashi is her junior superior as homeroom teacher. However, in order to distract Chianti and Korn, she deliberately broke the umbrella and exposed Kobayashi to danger, so that she could take the opportunity to attack. This act is similar to "gambit" in chess, and was praised by Rum.

Hyoue Kuroda
Hyoue Kuroda seems to have some knowledge about her. When he heard that she went camping with the Detective Boys, he comments that camping was something that she wouldn't do. Kuroda suspects it is possible that she thinks him as the murderer who killed Amanda and Haneda, because there was hostility in her eyes. However, it is more likely that she blames Kuroda for not saving them in time.
Kohji Haneda
Rumi Wakasa/Rachel Asaka first met Kohji when she accompanied Amanda seventeen years ago. Kohji said she is his ideal girlfriend and it's implied that she also has feelings for him. She thought of him as a "foolish person" because he sacrificed himself to protect her from the Black Organization. She keeps Kohji's good luck charm, the shogi bishop, which was handed by him and has memories of Kohji hiding her in his bookshelf "Huh? Why did I help you? I decided to do so. I must carry my initial dream through to the end. "She still seeks revenge for both Amanda and Kohji's murders.
