Hikari Nire/Relationships

Yuzuru Ema
Ema and Nire are teammates and part of Kageura's circle of close friends. She shares with Kitazoe an interest in rank battles that normally exceeds Kageura's and Ema's, which might cause her to come at odds with the sniper, albeit in a playful manner. He is vexed by her habit of making a fuss about bringing guests to the squad's strategy room, especially if they are girls. Nonetheless, the two enjoy a good relationship, with Nire at least suspecting that he has a crush and privately rejoicing that he is making the most of his youth. She is responsible for inviting him to join the squad and may behave with the cheeky familiarity of an older sister around him. They address the other by their first name.

Hiro Kitazoe
Kitazoe and Nire are teammates and part of Kageura's circle of close friends. The Gunner often asks for her assistance during rank battles, unfailingly prompting her to complain about how much her teammates rely on her. Nonetheless, she shares with Kitazoe an interest in rank battles that exceeds Kageura's and Ema's, which might cause her to chide Kitazoe for his failures and to express a complete lack of concern for his survival in the competition. Kitazoe calls her by her first name and appends the suffix -chan, while she uses his nickname and no honorific.

Masato Kageura
Nire is Kageura's teammate and one of his closest friends whom he invites to his family's restaurant. She can effortlessly shrug off Kageura's attitude and, like Kitazoe, spurs Kageura to be more invested in rank battles, during which she routinely complains about her teammates relying too much on her. She was visibly displeased with Sumiharu Inukai's unflattering commentary at the end of round eight. Kageura calls her by her first name while she uses his nickname, neither adding an honorific.

Yūma Kuga, Kō Murakami, Isami Tōma
Murakami, Nire, and Tōma are all part of Kageura's circle of friends, to which Yūma was recently added. She behaves informally around them.

Atsushi Hokari
Hokari and Nire appear to be affiliated, with her greeting him enthusiastically when they met at Kageura's restaurant. She calls him by his nickname without adding an honorific.

Tetsuji Arafune
Arafune and Nire seem to be on good terms, with her greeting him enthusiastically when they met at Kageura's restaurant and he smiling back at her. She calls him by his surname, without honorifics.
