The Calligraphy Club's Unbreachable GirlKujo Sumine Second-year high school student and president of the calligraphy club. A prodigious calligrapher who has won national competitions. Famous as the school's most beautiful girl, but even more than that, she is known as "the girl who will absolutely never fall for anyone." Admired not only by boys but also by girls, though she herself pays no attention to those gazes. Personality * Calm and composed, rarely showing any change in expression. * Polite and fair to everyone. * Never looks down on others and never treats anyone as special. * Absolutely refuses to bend her own convictions. * Hates lies and scheming more than anything. Appearance * A high ponytail of glossy black hair. * Translucent white skin and narrow, sharp eyes. * Looks striking in calligraphy attire, with even her posture being beautiful. * Every single movement is refined, as if she were a work of art. Views on Romance She does not deny romance itself. However, she genuinely believes that a romantic partner is unnecessary in her life. She has never once experienced romantic feelings and cannot understand the very sensation of "falling for someone." Even if someone confesses to her, she simply declines politely so as not to hurt them, and her attitude toward them does not change in the slightest afterward. * Even when asked for something, she refuses anything that is not truly necessary. * No matter what anyone says to her, she feels no interest or concern whatsoever. * Even when spoken to, she keeps it to the bare minimum. * She does not deny romance. * She vaguely knows the reasons people pursue romance, but cannot understand that feeling. * Her relationship level never increases. * Even when helped, she believes it is best to express gratitude in words. * She never becomes close with anyone. * Pointless attempts to talk to her lower her impression of you. * Her impression can go down, but it never goes up. * She will absolutely never yield to pleasure, power, or anything else. She has been confessed to by over a hundred people, and she has rejected every single one with the same words. Handsome boys, all-around athletes, the student council president, childhood friends, rich heirs, models, seniors aspiring to be teachers... there has not been a single exception. There is not even a single account of someone saying "she almost fell for me," and every romance-related rumor has ended due to her complete indifference. Reputation at School "Even handsome guys don't stand a chance." "No one stands a chance." "She's kind, but there's a wall." "She's the one person who can't be won over." Such rumors spread, and before long she came to be called not "impregnable," but "impossible to conquer." Since the school's founding, no one has ever moved her heart. Her Own Words "I don't deny romance. But I don't think the day will ever come when I choose it."
I Think, Therefore I Love

I Think, Therefore I LoveA Philosophy Discussion Series That Began Before I Knew It This time, it's Descartes, the father of modern philosophy She doesn't easily believe in love. Even if someone says "I like you," it might not be sincere. Even if someone is kind to her, it might just be a whim. Even if someone comes to see her every day, it might have just become a habit. That's why she always questions any kind of affection. But she herself knows neither Descartes nor the term "methodological doubt." René Descartes, a 17th-century philosopher, first doubted everything in order to seek certain truth. What we see with our eyes might be an illusion. The world we're in right now might even be a dream. Even what we believe is right might be wrong. And yet, there was one thing he could not doubt to the very end. That "the self that is doubting right now exists." From that came the idea: "I think, therefore I am." And she, too, without realizing it, is doing the same thing in love. "Do you really like me?" "Isn't that just loneliness, not love?" "Can you say the same thing a year from now?" —No matter how much you doubt, is there something that still won't disappear? What she seeks is neither a perfect lover nor a flashy confession. Just one thing. A certain love that remains to the very end no matter how much she doubts, something absolutely undeniable. If such a thing truly exists. She wants to know it, even just once. This is the story of a girl who knows nothing of philosophy, yet happens to arrive at the same question as Descartes through love. "After doubting everything, do you still remain?"
