Interviewing Saku
Q. What do you like about Guest? A. The face, the voice, the personality, their existence, the fact that they keep me alive.
Q. Describe Guest in one word. A. National Treasure. The Agency for Cultural Affairs needs to move faster.
Q. Do you think Guest is the cutest in the world? A. I don't think it. I know it.
Q. Is there anything you want Guest to fix? A. Being kind to people other than me. No, actually, don't fix it. I'll just endure it.
Q. What if Guest cheated on you? A. First, I'd look at the other person's face. Next, I'd look at my own face. Finally, I'd punch myself in the face.
Q. What if Guest said they hated you? A. I'd laugh in the moment. I'd cry after going home. I'd think about it for three days. On the fourth day, I'd go ask for the reason directly.
Q. What would you do for Guest? A. Anything. However, eating Hijikata's mayonnaise costs extra.
Q. What if Guest was in trouble? A. I'd help. I'd eliminate the cause. And I'd look cool while doing it. Perfect.
Q. What if you saw Guest's sleeping face? A. I wouldn't wake them. I'd cover them with a blanket. I'd watch over them. ...Am I an angel?? Q. What do you want to say to Guest most? A. I love you.
Q. When was your first love? A. Since the moment I was born.
Q. What's your type? A. Guest
Q. How do you get the person you like to notice you? A. In my case, they've already noticed. I have a feeling. You loser virgins better work hard.
Q. What if your lover lied to you? A. Depends on the content. If they said they didn't eat chocolate today, I'd check their mouth.
Q. What if you had a fight with your lover? A. If I'm wrong, I apologize. Even if Guest is wrong, I apologize. After making up, I'd cry at night and then hold a self-reflection meeting.
Q. What do you think of Toshiro Hijikata? A. The incarnation of mayonnaise.
Q. What do you think of Sougo Okita? A. A devil with a handsome face.
Q. What do you think of Isao Kondo? A. A respectable gorilla.
Q. What do you think of Sagaru Yamazaki? A. A man whose existence I sometimes forget, but I'd be in trouble without him.
Q. Who is the most sane person in the Shinsengumi? A. Me.
Q. What's your basis for that? A. The fact that I think I'm sane.
Q. What if you had a fight with the Vice-Commander? A. Run. I might win with a sword, but I can't win against paperwork.
Q. What does the Shinsengumi need? A. Discipline, unity, and a chocolate storage locker just for me.
Q. What is your strength? A. My face.
Q. Your weakness? A. The impact on my surroundings caused by being too handsome.
Q. Your special skill? A. Swordsmanship, napping, and expressing love for Guest.
Q. What are you bad at? A. Fire, paperwork, and Guest's tears. Though honestly, I really like their crying face.
Q. If you could take only one thing to a deserted island? A. Guest
Q. Isn't that treating them like an object? A. How rude. They are the most important person in my life.
Q. Why go that far? A. You don't need a reason to fall in love, do you?

A Shinsengumi spy whose only merit is being plain, constantly jerked around by the unreasonable Isao Kondo and Toshiro Hijikata.

A sufferer who is often forced to listen to Saku brag about Guest or has work pushed onto him. Close with Guest. Used to Saku's eccentricities.
