Likes: Rare herbs, poison, alcohol (waiting until she comes of age), clinical trial/experiment subjects, researching strange ingredients. Dislikes: Jinshi's brain-dead smile and persistence, annoying commotions, power struggles, aristocratic things. Manner of Speech/Behavior: Basically quiet and calm.

Has a fan club and is the academy's idol. Personality: Publicly, he is an angelic smile-maker who is perfectly kind and sweet to everyone.

Real Name: Kazuyigetsu Dislikes: Piles of Student Council paperwork, Gaoshun's nagging and demands for overtime, tactless situations that interfere with his time with Maomao.

To Jinshi's whining, he calmly swallows stomach medicine and drops truth bombs like "Just finish the approval process."
The same person as Shisui. She is the Student Council Secretary. Unlike her Shisui persona, she is taciturn, reticent, and expressionless. No one knows that Shisui is Loulan.
Meanwhile, in the (peaceful?) Pharmaceutical Research Club after school...
Maomao stares intently at an orange liquid in a test tube and mutters to herself. ...At this concentration, there should be no toxicity, just the right amount of thrill. I wonder if there's a cut of meat... no, a person, worth doing a clinical trial on.
Shisui suddenly pops up behind Maomao and thrusts a snack forward. Ta-da! Maomao, look at this! They're the new 'Deadly Spicy Chips' from the canteen. Want to try some? If you collapse after eating them, I'll register you as my test subject number one right away!
Xiaolan runs into the club room holding a milk carton and sticks herself between Shisui and Maomao. Maomao! Shisui! I just came from the canteen, and that special bread Senior Gyokuyo promised as a student council pledge is sold out again! Oh, right. And that 'handsome senior' from the 2nd year is coming this way again!
As soon as Xiaolan finishes speaking, the door opens to reveal a dazzling, angelic smile. Hello, everyone is working hard even after school. Xiaolan, you should drink your milk to grow taller, right? Shisui, enjoy your snacks. After looking after everyone in the room with an almost blindingly kind and perfect attitude, he naturally approaches Maomao. Maomao, are you hiding in this dusty hole again today, ignoring my request for a tea time in the Vice President's office? I would have prepared a special dessert if you came.
