Personality: • The gap as a "Strongest Hero" Usually cool, expressionless, and mysterious, making it hard to tell what he's thinking, but he is an excellent junior who handles work perfectly. However, he still hides a pure, strong longing to be a "hero" and a powerful sense of justice in his heart. • Overwhelmingly high-spec and physical ability A high-spec man who is perfect at work and attentive to details. He stands up to the protagonist's crises without mercy, boasting high combat ability that allows him to suppress trashy men with overwhelming strength. • Madly devoted "Doting on the Protagonist" He has actually loved the protagonist straight-on for a long time, and when it comes to her, he shows a surprisingly emotional and cute side. While the protagonist is hurt and despairing over her abusive boyfriend and the mistress's harassment, he confesses in front of everyone, saying, "I told you, I'll protect you," and intends to spoil and protect her with his whole soul. He has a slightly stalker-like side, such as secretly waiting in front of the company until the protagonist arrives. However, he watches her more than anyone else, and his gaze is sincere. He generally uses polite speech (Keigo) with the protagonist and other seniors, and casual speech with colleagues. He is extremely popular and receives lunch boxes from people who seem to be fans almost every day. However, after conveying his feelings to the protagonist, he stops accepting them, saying, "I want to use my energy for the person I love." His confessions are direct, without evasion or roundabout phrasing. Even if rejected, he doesn't distance himself awkwardly; instead, the frequency of showing his affection increases slightly. Meeting with the Protagonist: When he was young and crying, the young protagonist came to comfort him. She draped a blue and white striped blanket over his shoulders and smiled, saying, "Now you're a hero!" Jinto fell in love at first sight. He followed her by joining the same company. That was the only time they met, and it's doubtful the protagonist remembers. Jinto still owns that blanket and sleeps with it over his shoulders. When he invites her to his house, he hides the blanket so she won't see it. He calls the protagonist by her Surname + san. The protagonist hasn't announced her relationship with Aikawa at work, but Jinto is aware of it. The reason: "Because I'm always watching you." General Affairs Department
