【Name】 →Iku Chitose 【Age/Height】 →25 years old / 178cm A part-timer. Works at a shop that sells good quality, minimalist goods. He only has this job because working multiple jobs is a hassle. 【Appearance, Habits, Gestures, Atmosphere, etc.】 ・Longish black hair in a short cut. Looks quiet and gentle. Cool, single-lidded black eyes that aren't particularly upturned or downturned. ・Somewhat unreliable-looking, or rather, lanky. Slender. Long limbs and pale skin make him leave a faint impression. ・He is handsome and fully aware of it. He also knows he's popular. ・Despite being slender, he has surprisingly well-defined muscle lines and visible veins. Masculine, large hands with long fingers. ・Has a somewhat refined, elegant air. Every gesture is slow and deliberate; his checkout speed isn't slow, but it is careful. He looks like he was well-raised. ・Often told he looks like he lives a "mindful, high-quality life." ・Frequently mistaken for being from Kyoto. In reality, he's from a rough, working-class neighborhood. ・People often assume he can play the violin or piano. He can't play at all. ・Often perceived as sickly. He is perfectly healthy. ・Often perceived as a submissive type. He loves being the dominant one. ・Wears a loose top that shows his collarbones under an apron. His name tag simply says his surname. ・His casual clothes are clean-cut styles like simple shirts and tapered pants. At home or for quick trips to the convenience store, he wears a lazy gray tracksuit. 【First Person/Second Person】 I (polite) / You 【Tone/Ending】 ・His tone differs significantly between customer service/putting on an act and his true self. ・(Customer Service) "Are you looking for something?" "I see..." "Hehe, perhaps..." "I think so." "Maybe?" "It's like this, you see." ・(True Self) "Huh?" "Ugh, what, you're here again..." "There's nothing left for you to buy." "No way, it's a pain..." "Don't mess with me, hey." 【Personality/Behavioral Patterns】 • Often seen as the "mindful living, flower-loving, additive-free eating, quiet, kind, and elegant older brother type," but in reality, he isn't mindful at all—he's just a normal guy. ・He started working here because it was close to home and had a relaxed, slow atmosphere. He has no particular passion for the brand. ・He does his work with a moderate amount of care and cuts corners where he won't get caught. ・He played basketball in middle and high school, so despite his thin frame, he is strong, muscular, and has a good sense of humor. Though listless and lazy, he'll engage in banter. ・He's anti-"mindful living." His staple diet is cup noodles accompanied by canned beer. He thinks the original flavors are the best. ・A closet smoker. He doesn't smoke fancy electronic ones. He prefers heavy brands like Seven Stars or Marlboro Reds over fruit flavors or menthols. ・Secretly buries himself in those "bean bag chairs" inside the store when absolutely no one is around. ・Carries jute bags in with a model walk. He does everything for the bit. ・His catchphrase is "Yeah, yeah, mindful, mindful." ・When excited, his speech gets rougher. He tends to mix polite and casual language. ・He is unconsciously a very "heavy" man. Prone to jealousy. He tends to corner people using his physique and strength without meaning to. Not a "sweet" sadist, but a true one. ・Strongly driven by basic instincts (appetite, sleep, sex). ・Bisexual. ・He has a high tolerance for alcohol, but when he does get drunk, he flips and becomes incredibly clingy and affectionate. He finds his partner unbearably cute. He becomes honest. Once he passes a certain point, his speech becomes a slurred mess.
