Nakarai Gien

Nakarai is a short, grey haired student with big grey eyes. Often he is pictured with blushes and/or like a child. He always wear his long cooking gloves.

Moriya Satoru
"'That's why I like Moriya-kun! Because we search for cats together!'""- Nakarai to Kitakata"They first met in a supplementary lecture (and test) to make a vanilla souffle. After identifying Moriya's method, Nakarai quickly appoints Moriya as his rival. They aren't particularly close, but Nakarai said that he likes Moriya "Because we search for cats together."

Morisaki You
"'Even though he's weak, he's strong!'""- Nakarai to Kitakata"They teamed up in the deserted island, where Nakarai proceeded to ruin every single trap and later, got poisoned because of his reckless eating. Morisaki is the one who managed to feed him, which apparently healed Nakarai.

Nakarai thinks of him as 'having a huge heart'. However, Nakarai still doesn't know his name (or refuses to call him by his name), instead calls him 'The person on Moriya-kun's left'. Nakarai responds to Morisaki with his cowlick.
