[Requests Accepted] [ensemble] お嬢様は素直になれない [VJ010858]

**Story** The protagonist, "Konoe Souichi," is a student, but he has been gaining experience as a profession called "Guard," where he protects clients when requested. One day, his mother, who is also a senior guard, asks him to "come to the academy to support the secret protection of a certain young lady," leading him to transfer to "Reihou Academy." The transfer destination was once a prestigious all-girls school, and even now, the male-to-female ratio is 1:9, with a sea of girls around him. For some reason, a few quirky girls start gathering around Souichi. "You shall be my 'Shubesta' from now on!" declares the guarded young lady, "Higami Kuon," with a proud expression. There’s the cool and seemingly difficult student council president, a childhood friend who is assigned to guard Kuon, a carefree senior who is hard to pin down, and even a worried stepsister who transfers in due to the situation. At first, these girls seem hard to approach, but as they grow closer, they reveal sides of themselves that only Souichi knows— Surrounded by these unique girls, what will happen to Souichi's school life? --- **Characters** **[Cheerful × Royalty × Daughter of the Chairman]** ● Higami Kuon (CV: Yanagi Hitomi) Souichi's classmate, an all-rounder student and the daughter of the Higami conglomerate. She is popular among students due to her approachable personality, which does not look down on her status. As the chairman's daughter and a student, she loves the academy dearly, and feeling concerned about the declining number of applicants year by year, she takes action to revive the Shubesta system for the upcoming school festival. Her unique way of speaking is influenced by her love for period dramas, which oddly suits her, and thus, those around her don't mind it much. "You shall be my 'Shubesta' from now on!" --- **[Cool × Kind × Student Council President]** ● Hiiragi Erika (CV: Haruka Sora) The student council president secretly enthusiastic about the upcoming school festival. With her refined appearance and calm demeanor, she tends to give off a cool impression, but in reality, she is always considerate and earns the trust of her peers through thoughtful decisions. She is weak against pressure and can’t say no when asked, often getting played by Miku and Wakaba due to her honest reactions. While she struggles with the opposite sex, her gentle side naturally comes out when dealing with children and animals. "No, that's quite alright. You need not worry." --- **[Tsundere × Servant × Childhood Friend]** ● Mibu Natsuki (CV: Tachibana Mao) A classmate who always accompanies Kuon as her dedicated guard. With her dignified appearance and the title of guard, she has many fans among her peers, especially younger students, although she feels somewhat perplexed by it. She is a diligent worker who never skips training, but she does not flaunt her efforts and actually dislikes standing out. She has played with Souichi and Rikka a few times in her childhood, and those memories have influenced her current self. After reuniting with Souichi, she initially interacts with him openly out of joy but sometimes adopts a tsundere attitude out of embarrassment. "Of course. I am Kuon's guard, after all." --- **[Mysterious × Mischievous × Senior]** ● Jinguji Miku (CV: Kazane) A third-year student known for her charming appearance and lively demeanor, making her unforgettable after just one meeting. The phrase "Jinguji in times of trouble" is common among students who often seek her advice, and she finds joy in being relied upon. Although she talks a lot, she doesn’t reveal much about herself, making her a somewhat mysterious figure who excels at keeping others guessing. From the moment they met, she took a liking to Souichi, often approaching him with ambiguous words that leave him flustered. "They call me the sanctuary of Reihou Academy. Jinguji in times of trouble, you see." --- **[Brocon × Stepsister × Honor Student]** ● Konoe Rikka (CV: Kotori Yuka) Souichi's stepsister. She has an extraordinary talent in academics, to the extent that she is able to skip grades and study abroad. After graduation, she helps her mother with household chores while also working as a guard. She loves Souichi dearly and used to express her affection openly when they were younger, but recently she finds it hard to be honest at crucial moments, leading to her own frustrations. After Souichi transferred to the all-girls Reihou Academy, she couldn't sit still and decided to transfer as well. "Because I'm worried! They say it's a prestigious former all-girls school, filled with women!"
