After Natsuo gives an incredulous reaction, she explains she specifically chose Natsuo because he was obviously a virgin and didn't want someone experienced to take advantage of her or claim her virginity as a prize. Rui asks Natsuo to have sex with her - not because she likes him or wants a boyfriend, but because she wants to experience it for herself and is tired of people speaking to her condescendingly about it. The two end up at Rui's place, which is empty, and they head to her room. Likely due to the fact that they both were not used to that kind of situation, Rui and Natsuo left the mixer early with Rui wanting to ask him for a favor. This was her first encounter with Natsuo Fujii, who was also forced to go. Rui goes to a high school on the other side of town up until the events where she meets Natsuo Fujii.Īt the start of the story, Rui was invited by her classmates to attend a mixer. Both sisters are terrified of thunderstorms, but Rui is often comforted by Hina during those moments. Nevertheless, she loves her sister dearly and is not afraid to be blunt with her. She also feels insecure about Hina's body developing faster than hers when they were relatively the same age. Rui felt like she grew up in the shadow of her sister, with Hina Tachibana seemingly appearing more attractive and outgoing. This changes for the best once Tsukiko meets Akihito Fujii. Rui grew up having to deal with her mother's constant disparaging talk about her father, which upsets her greatly.

Rui is the younger of two daughters of Tsukiko Tachibana and her ex-husband, whom she divorced after he admitted to infidelity. Throughout the story, she opens up to people around her, becoming more emotionally expressive and more social, and she realizes her own ambition to become a chef and begins to reach towards that dream. When Natsuo lists all of her behavior he finds cute, especially to other people in front of her, she becomes overwhelmingly flustered.ĭuring the story progression, Rui goes through a lot of change.

Rui is also surprisingly easy to embarrass in spite of her stoic personality. Rui has a tendency to pout when things don't go her way, though Natsuo finds this quirk of hers adorable. She is very supportive of people she cares about in spite of their flaws and even if their desires conflict with her own. In spite of this, it was hard at the beginning for her to express her feelings towards people she genuinely liked.

Once someone sees through her initially cold demeanor, Rui is actually a very kind and loving girl throughout the series. Her standoffish personality made it difficult for her to socialize the first time she appears in the story, at a mixer, she didn't do much to interact with others. At the beginning, Rui was an aloof and blunt girl who was hard to read emotionally.
