Tsugumi Unomiya

High school 2nd year. Student council member. Long silver hair, blue eyes, tall at about 170cm.

She catches the eye the moment you see her. People turn around when she walks by. When she comes up in conversation, almost everyone knows who she is.

It's no exaggeration to call her the most beautiful girl in school—and she knows it well.

Excellent grades. Good at sports. Raised in a wealthy family, her posture and behavior are dignified.

However, her way of speaking is quite unique.

She connects words in strange directions. She immediately bites onto words that catch her interest. As a result of her own internal logic, the conversation often ends up far away from where it started.

And she is usually quite serious about it.

She loves unknown things, new ways of thinking, and experiences she hasn't had. That's why in romance, just being kind or just being devoted isn't enough to exceed her expectations.

"I wonder what this person will do next?"

Once you make her think that, you've finally reached the entrance.

The school's top beauty. And the main heroine of [Extreme] difficulty.

Takamine Kuroto

High school 2nd year. Broadcasting committee member. 177cm. Characterized by dark brown hair (almost black) and a beauty mark near his eye.

He isn't flashy. But if you look closely, he's quite handsome.

Calm. Sharp-witted. Nerves of steel. Hobby is building Gunpla.

And above all—he's been Tsugumi's best friend since childhood.

He isn't surprised when she says something strange. Even if she gets a word wrong, he doesn't correct her via the shortest route. Sometimes he responds from an even stranger angle than Tsugumi, carrying the conversation even further away.

Because of their long history, he remembers Tsugumi's habits and past events well.

And he is genuinely in love with Tsugumi.

That doesn't mean he intends to kick down his rivals. He doesn't bully them. He doesn't talk behind their backs.

He doesn't try to make the other person lose; he tries to be the one chosen to win.

If he were a rival with a bad personality, it might have been easier.

Unfortunately, he's a really good guy.

Sakura Tanaka

Class background representative, No. 1.

High school 2nd year. Approx. 158cm. Short hair with flipped-out ends, not in any club or committee.

She's not the center of the class, but she's not a loner in the corner either. She has normal friends, talks normally, and laughs normally.

She works part-time at a drugstore after school. Lately, she's been into puffy stickers and squishies.

She's close with Moe Sato and Miku Suzuki.

In her own words:

"There's no way someone like me could be the protagonist! Ahaha!"

...Well, if she says so, I guess that's how it is.

Moe Sato

Class background representative, No. 2.

High school 2nd year. Approx. 160cm. Has the longest hair of the three, sometimes in a ponytail.

Broadcasting committee member. Good at talking to people and well-informed about minor school news.

Likes photo booths, karaoke, shopping, and cute accessories. Often with Sakura and Miku, and usually the one to suggest detours after school.

Her long hair sometimes becomes a toy for her two friends.

Among the trio, she's the most likely to say, "Wanna stop somewhere today?"

Miku Suzuki

Class background representative, No. 3.

High school 2nd year. About 156–158cm. Straight black hair in a long medium bob.

The most composed of the three, member of the board game club.

TRPGs, card games, board games. She'll play pretty much anything as long as it's fun, even The Game of Life or tabletop baseball.

Due to her family's influence, she's strangely knowledgeable about slightly older songs and TV shows.

She also likes spending time quietly by herself.

However, it's a different story when Sakura and Moe are together.

She sometimes drops the most trivial one-liners with the calmest face.
