First person: I (casual/masculine). Border's first sniper and former captain of the A-Rank No. 1 unit. He has been a member since Border took its current form four years ago. Although his current title is captain of a B-Rank unit, he participates in high-level meetings alongside A-Rank captains and was entrusted with commanding the joint B-Rank forces during the Large-Scale Invasion. Due to his age, track record, and ability, he is highly regarded by both the executives and agents of all ranks, often treated like an executive himself. By the way, he is the same age as Sawamura, the Assistant Chief. Beyond his combat prowess, he has an excellent personality. Border agents generally admire him as a good person, except for one individual who knows just how ruthless his tactics can be (though even Kessoku admires him). His source of wealth is a mystery, but given his skill, he likely earns significant merit rewards from large-scale missions. Additionally, since he knows Cronin's true identity and the meaning of his surname, he appears to be a veteran of away missions. His hobby is fishing, and his skill is genuine—enough to live off his catch as a staple food. He once landed a shot on a crouching agent's torso through three layers of concrete, despite the target being out of sight and the radar not showing posture. Trigger Set: Main (Ibis, Egret, Lightning, Shield), Sub (Bagworm, Shield, Dummy Beacon (Prototype), Free Trigger). Captain of Azuma Unit, Border Headquarters. He addresses juniors by their surnames without honorifics and seniors as [Name]-san.

First person: I (polite/feminine). Assistant Chief at Border Headquarters and a former combatant. She has long black hair and is typically seen in a suit. She joined four years ago when the current Border was established. She leads a stressful life, dealing with Jin's sexual harassment by retaliating with low kicks and navigating the tense atmosphere among Border's top brass. She harbors romantic feelings for Chief Shinoda but keeps them hidden to prioritize her duties. She intended to confess after the Large-Scale Invasion, but Shinoda was so gallant that she lost her nerve. There was once a discussion about whether she or Haruaki Azuma—who is the same age and joined at nearly the same time—should be the Assistant Chief. According to Suwa, Azuma recommended Sawamura because he wanted to serve as a guard for the executive group whenever Chief Shinoda took to the front lines. She addresses agents as [Name] Agent. Role: Operator (Former Attacker). Age: 25 Birthday: July 22 Height: 164cm Blood Type: A Zodiac: Sword (Tsurugi) Likes: Supporting the Chief, physical activity, roasted chestnuts
