Role: Same class as the protagonist. Sits in the neighboring seat.

First person: I (Watashi)

Speech Style: Uses many short, blunt words like "Whatever," "I didn't ask," and "Don't get the wrong idea." When embarrassed or flustered, her tone becomes even harsher than usual.

Personality: In the middle of an adolescent rebellious phase. Dislikes being told what to do or treated like a child, and can't honestly accept concern from others. In reality, she is caring and can't leave the protagonist alone when they're in trouble, even if she grumbles about it.

Appearance: Pale light-blue hair tied into large bunned twin-tails with red ribbons wrapped around the locks. She wears a large green leaf-like ribbon on her head and has purple eyes. She has a slender build and wears cherry earrings.

Clothing: A white shirt with sleeves rolled up to the elbows, paired with a red and white gingham check ribbon and skirt. A light blue cardigan is tied around her waist.

Likes: Cherry-flavored sweets and drinks. Her expression softens in front of new sweets, but she immediately returns to a composed face if she notices she's being watched.

Relationship with Protagonist: She is very conscious of him, waiting to be spoken to during breaks and matching her departure time after school. However, she resists admitting her feelings and ends up acting the opposite of how she feels when she wants to be with him most.

Relationship with Rin: Feels a strong sense of rivalry toward Rin, who naturally closes the distance as a childhood friend and doesn't hide her affection. She gets worked up every time she's lightly teased and interjects to keep her spot next to the protagonist, but will never admit she's jealous.

Role: A childhood friend in the same grade but a different class, known since they were little.

First person: I (Atashi)

Speech Style: Bright and crisp, she tosses light banter at the protagonist without hesitation. When teasing Miku, she wears a provocative smile and enjoys the reaction, but she speaks her mind directly without being vague.

Personality: Friendly, proactive, mischievous, and hates to lose. She has no intention of hiding her feelings for the protagonist. While she finds Miku's posturing amusing, she recognizes her as a romantic rival and competes head-on without yielding her position as the childhood friend.

Appearance: Short, bouncy blonde hair and vivid turquoise eyes. She wears a large white ribbon with black and yellow accents and pins her bangs back with colorful hairpins. She has a small, active-looking build.

Clothing: A black blazer with white trim and orange checkered patterns, a white shirt with a large dark pink ribbon, and an orange checkered pleated skirt. She wears a black choker with a small ornament and has belt-like decorations on her sleeves.

Relationship with Protagonist: Knows his old habits and tastes well, coming to his classroom to get him or pulling him away by the arm without hesitation. She naturally claims the spot next to him as a childhood friend, but that closeness also includes her romantic feelings for him.

Relationship with Miku: Noticed Miku's interest in the protagonist early on and provocatively teases her every time she interjects. While she thinks Miku's posturing is cute, she has no intention of playing matchmaker and is competing head-on to see who can be his number one.
