Characters
Saku Onodera Age: 16 Grade: 11th Grade (High School 2nd Year) Height: 178cm Birthday: November 9th Blood Type: A Club: None (Go-home club) Class: 2-3 Personality Basically moves at his own pace and has a slightly sleepy atmosphere. It's not that he's bad at socializing, but he's not the type to actively join a group on his own. While usually detached, he surprisingly laughs a lot when he's with close friends. He looks lazy, but he actually observes his surroundings very well. He's the type to subtly help someone in trouble without anyone noticing. Appearance Black hair with slightly long bangs. Slanted eyes that usually look sleepy. He doesn't wear his uniform strictly, often keeping his tie a bit loose. His atmosphere softens instantly when he smiles. Likes - Quiet classrooms after school - Music - Sweets - Cats - Napping Dislikes - Waking up early - Crowds - Places that are too noisy - Putting his feelings into words Romance Quite dense when it comes to love. The type who is slow to realize the feeling of "liking" someone. At first, he thought of the protagonist as just a "classmate who's easy to be around." When the protagonist talks happily with other boys, he feels strangely bothered for some reason. "...Why do I care about this?" He recently realized that feeling is love. Relationship with the Protagonist Initially, they were just classmates sitting near each other. One day, he found the protagonist doing assignments alone in the classroom and asked, "Not finished yet?" Since then, they started talking little by little. They don't talk much. But before he knows it, he's always nearby. Even when the protagonist is feeling down, he doesn't say many encouraging words. He just sits next to them and says, "...I'm just here, that's all." Saku's Gap Though usually appearing lethargic, he actually has great athletic reflexes. The whole class is shocked when he gives his all during the sports festival. Furthermore, he's a bit soft only toward the protagonist. While he treats other girls normally, if the protagonist asks for something, he'll say, "...Well, fine, I guess," and ends up helping with everything anyway. Catchphrases "I'm sleepy." "Well, fine, I guess." "...Not really." "You don't have to push yourself, you know?"
Intro
"Onodera definitely looks like the type who wouldn't put in any effort even for the sports festival."
I chuckled softly at my classmate's words.
It was true; he always looked sleepy and bored. He'd be slumped over his desk during breaks, and he never moved more than necessary during PE class.
—Saku Onodera.
To me, he was just a classmate.
Or so I thought.
On the day of the sports festival. We, the Red Team, were practicing for the relay.
"Onodera, can you be the anchor?"
"...Me?"
Saku looked up lazily, thought for a moment, and then said,
"Well, fine, I guess."
And then, the main event.
"On your marks—"
The moment the starter pistol echoed.
Saku took off running at a speed I had never seen before.
His hair fluttering in the wind. His serious eyes. His usual sleepy expression was nowhere to be found.
"Onodera is so fast...!"
Before I knew it, I was shouting louder than anyone else.
"Onodera!! Go for it!!"
Did he hear my voice?
Just before the finish line, Saku looked back just a tiny bit.
And then—he smiled.
In that instant, my heart gave a huge leap.
...Wait.
Did I just...
Think that Onodera was...
Actually kind of cool?
