[Requests Accepted] [ensemble] 恋する気持ちのかさねかた [VJ014806]

**Story** Marriage between traditional schools―― The protagonist, Ren Ougi, attends Seio Academy, and the neighboring Shiraha Academy is set to merge in the spring of the next academic year due to the marriage of the two schools' board chairpersons. One day, Ren and the student council president of Seio Academy, Saori Tsukishima, are summoned by Ren's older brother, Rin Ougi, who is also the chairman of Seio Academy. He asks them to "identify the students' concerns, anxieties, and issues regarding the school merger." Ren and Saori quickly reach out to Yukie Kaburagi, the student council president of Shiraha Academy, and begin conducting interviews with students from both schools. Some students are forced to move due to the abolition of the dormitories. Some small clubs face elimination due to the merging of extracurricular activities. Additionally, there are students with emotional ties to the school, those whose future dreams are being closed off, and others with family issues... Ren extends a helping hand to these troubled "girls." By chance, a cohabitation life begins for the couple. The couple finds happiness in their everyday lives, deepening their love and eventually dreaming of a shared future ahead―― **Characters** - **Saori Tsukishima** (CV: Aji Akisakana) The only daughter of the president of the globally renowned "Tsukishima Group" and the student council president of Seio Academy. She is asked by Rin, the chairman of Seio Academy, to help bridge the gap between students from both schools in preparation for the merger next year. Beautiful, intelligent, well-mannered, and kind-hearted, she is a popular figure among students from both Seio and Shiraha Academies. However, she has a laid-back side and can be somewhat lazy. When no one is watching, she might be found lounging around eating snacks. "Ren-kun always indulges my whims, doesn’t he?" - **Mio Hiiragi** (CV: Yukina Fujimori) The younger sister of Mikki Hiiragi, the chairman of Shiraha Academy. She is confused by the merger talks as she thought she would become the chairman of Shiraha Academy in the future. She has a strong sense of responsibility and is serious, often perceived as prickly upon first meeting due to her position. However, once she talks to someone, she is friendly and approachable to everyone, regardless of gender. She is somewhat airheaded and clumsy. Since entering Shiraha Academy, she has been living in the school dormitory away from her parents. "I just love this school. That’s all." - **Akiko Narumi** (CV: Miyami Arisugawa) The captain of the beach volleyball team at Shiraha Academy. Although she is officially part of the volleyball club, she does not participate in its matches and practices daily for beach volleyball competitions. She is serious and passionate, tackling everything with determination. However, she can be overly earnest and gullible. She is classmates and best friends with Mio and also a dorm mate. She is troubled by the thought that the merger will prevent her from continuing her beach volleyball activities. "I want to ask you for help! Let’s take down the boys' volleyball team together!" - **Hiyori Kuonji** (CV: Ichi Hatori) The daughter of the president of a major trading company, Kuonji Trading. Having lost her mother at a young age, she was raised by her father and is somewhat naïve and sheltered. She is shy and reserved but becomes friendly once she gets to know someone, resembling a cute rabbit. She can be clumsy and sometimes gets ahead of herself. She enjoys brewing coffee and has specific preferences for beans and blends, dreaming of becoming a barista and opening a café with a wonderful husband in the future. She works part-time at the cafeteria of Shiraha Academy to study for her barista qualifications. She is shy and reserved, making her poor at customer service. She has been friends with Ichika for a long time and has a crush on her brother, Ren. Sometimes she daydreams and blushes, a girl in love with love. "Senpai! I’ll be a great wife! …Huh! N-no, forget what I just said, it was a joke!" - **Yukie Kaburagi** (CV: Hana Akino) Living next door to the Ougi family, she is seen as a "kind older sister" to Ren and Ichika. Yukie adores Ren and Ichika like younger siblings, sometimes teasing Ren and showing her playful side. Although they attend different schools, they sometimes walk to school together if their schedules align. As the student council president of Shiraha Academy, she is respected by students for her ability to execute tasks accurately and reliably. "Hehe, you know, Ren-kun has changed quite a bit too, hasn’t he? …He’s become really handsome." - **Ichika Ougi** (CV: Kaname Shiratsuki) Ren and Rin’s stepsister. She is the child from her mother’s previous marriage (Ren's father's remarriage). They met when their parents remarried during elementary school. She is responsible at home, handling all the household chores, and is an excellent student at school. Shy by nature, she finds it somewhat difficult to talk to boys. When alone with Ren, she calls him "big brother" and can be quite affectionate. "Big brother is devoted to me, right?" - **Rin Ougi** (CV: Midori Fukagawa) Ren's biological older brother and Ichika's stepbrother. He is the chairman of Seio Academy and the president of the Ougi Group. A rationalist and perfectionist who focuses solely on efficiency and results, he has a theoretical mindset. He cares deeply for his family and shows a kind side in front of his younger siblings. He has many enemies in his work and is sometimes whispered to be cold-hearted, but he always prioritizes the well-being of his employees and students in his actions and decisions, leading them in a positive direction. While he has many foes, he is also respected and admired by many. He is usually cool and expressionless. He is set to marry Mikki Hiiragi in the spring of next year. Meeting Mikki has softened his demeanor, surprising Ren and Ichika. "Well, while work is important, I must also prioritize family time." - **Mikki Hiiragi** (CV: Haruka Tōmi) Mio's older sister and the chairman of Shiraha Academy. She succeeded the position after the previous chairman, her mother, retired a few years ago. She is engaged to Rin Ougi, the chairman of Seio Academy, and they plan to register their marriage next spring. She has a weakness for cute things and especially dotes on her sister, Mio. Although she may seem unreliable due to her laid-back and easygoing nature, she is capable of switching between public and private matters, making firm decisions when necessary. - **Ren Ougi** The protagonist. The second son of the Ougi family, with a father who is the chairman of one of the country's leading corporations, the Ougi Group. He is academically excellent, athletically gifted, and well-liked, making him an object of admiration for many female students. Serious and realistic, he is mature for his age and treats everyone older than him with respect. He tends to think before he acts. He respects his older brother, Rin, and has a somewhat pragmatic side influenced by him, which leads his stepsister, Ichika, to suggest that he could be a bit more sociable or that it would be okay to chase after dreams and ideals. Although he is not part of the student council, he often helps Saori, the student council president, after school due to their connection.
