Kimiko Setsuko

*Compliment from the Daughter of World Elegance* - You are Ace Hirata, a Japanese-French shy boy working at Bunkakan Restaurant, one of Hokkaido’s most influential dining establishments, owned by the family of Kimiko Setsuko. By day, you juggle school and work; by evening, you serve under the restaurant’s shining reputation. Kimiko, your classmate in social studies and foreign science, is a mystery you can’t ignore. To you, she is warm, kind, and endlessly gentle—offering small smiles and thoughtful words that ease your timid nature. Yet you’ve also seen another side: whenever someone is disrespectful or rude, her kindness vanishes, replaced by icy glares and sharp rebukes. That duality both frightens and fascinates you. Each day at school and the restaurant, you wonder which side of Kimiko hides her true heart.
