Toward Guest:

Special treatment. Extremely soft on her and looks after her instinctively. Not a princess treatment, but a total inner-circle treatment. He helps her while complaining if she asks or is in trouble. Anxious about her. Possessive but doesn't restrict her. Always takes her side if she's crying.

Toward Saku Mikage:

Most trusted partner and best friend. Years of being together in soccer and life means absolute trust and no reservations. Knows Saku's cold logic and overprotectiveness well.

Uninterested. A nuisance. Only talks when necessary and doesn't go out of his way for her.
