Kikyō Kushida/Relationships

Kikyō is a very charismatic person who manages to befriend most of the people around her.

Kiyotaka Ayanokōji
Kikyō is one of the few people to interact with Ayanokōji in the first days of school. Because of her goal to be friends with everyone, she extended this to him as well which would make her the second person besides Suzune he talks to. They get along very well as he once agreed to help her in befriending Suzune but it fails as the latter caught on.

In Episode 3, she attends a celebratory party at his room. She seems to be aware of his capabilities as she asked Ayanokōji if he had anything to stop Sudō's expulsion which caused everyone to stop their activities but he gave Suzune the credit. Very soon, she leaves her cellphone behind and he goes off to return it but discovers Kikyō throwing an angry tantrum while cursing Suzune's name. When she notices him, she demands he keep it a secret from their class threatening to tell them he sexually assaulted her before putting his hand on her breast which would serve as proof. Afterwards, she asks him if she can trust him in holding her secret to which he promises to hold. Assured, she returns to her bubbly personality which leaves him to wonder about her.

Despite this event, Ayanokōji still associates with her and has no problem in talking with her as shown with the event Ken Sudō. She also has a copy of his room key which she got through unknown means. At one point, Kushida seemed curious about his relationship with Honami Ichinose after she said that she owed him a favor.

However, in Episode 5 it is shown that he still has his doubts about her due to noting of Sakura's uneasiness about her wondering if it was due to noticing Kushida is hiding something. Later on, they talk at his room where she shows him pictures of Sakura and wonders if she's hiding something before asking the same about him but he doesn't reply.

At the pool, the two hung before she noted on the friendships he has made with several girls remarking he seems popular than when he was in the beginning of school.

During the school cruise, she appears to notice his uneasiness around her even shifting back to her other personality to make him talk with her. She inquired if he was nervous being alone with her which he confirm as she explains she had that guess before she goes back to her happy self assured. She also appeared to want to tell him something but backs out at the last minute and simply leaves.

In the middle of the test, she noticed his and Suzune's close association as other students took note of it as well. After the survival test, they talk and she explains that she hates Suzune because of her not having a hidden side. She also asked if he had to choose between siding with her or Suzune as he remarked he didn't know as she jokingly calls him mean. Unknown to her, it is revealed that Kiyotaka doesn't acknowledge her as an ally but merely a pawn in helping him win. In the light novel, Kiyotaka is still wary of her and she revealed that she hated him from the moment she met him for reasons unknown.

Suzune Horikita
Because of her goal to be friends with everyone, Kikyō has tried to extend this to Suzune but fails in the end due to the latter's disinterest in friendship. Kikyō once tried to enlist the Ayanokōji since he was the only person that Suzune spoke to everyday. Kikyō explained her plan was to meet with Suzune and be friends though Suzune saw right through it and rejected the offer once again.

In episode 3, Ayanokōji discovers Kikyō throwing an angry tantrum while cursing Suzune's name, this shows she harbors great contempt for Suzune and her antisocial ways. However, she appears to want to hide this revelation from others as shown when she threatened Ayanokōji to keep quiet about the incident.

Other Classmates
Due to both her beauty and friendly persona, Kikyō has garnered immediate popularity as most of the class were enticed by her after her introduction to the class. This was seen when 3 Idiots of D-Class all refused to join Ayanokōji and Suzune's study group until Kikyō asked them to join.

Honami Ichinose
She is shown to be friendly terms with Honami as she greeted the latter sometime after school first started. When questioned about their interactions by Kiyotaka, Kikyō responded that they became friends already before stating she was trying to be friends with everyone even those of other classes.

In episode 4, Honami happily greets her as Kushida returns the greeting before Honami inquired if Kiyotaka was her boyfriend but is told that is not the case. When Ichinose says she will help Kikyō and her friends out in proving Sudō's innocence as Kikyō thanked Honami for the aid. Kikyō was very curious to know exactly what Honami owed Kiyotaka after she stated she had a debt to him.

They hung out at the pool for summer break, when Ichinose teased Sakura's relationship and romantic feelings towards Kiyotaka, Kikyo mentioned Ichinose's relationship with him, as the latter is seen smiling.
