Tachibana, Hotaru

立花蛍

Hotaru serves as the Student Council President and is recognized for her raw strength, sharp reflexes, and intense sense of justice. She insists on not letting "evil doers" escape punishment for their actions and is frequently observed seeking out conflicts to uphold what she deems right. This drive leads her to beat up a group of students who were extorting money from a helpless peer, and she seeks revenge upon learning that her best friend, Kanae, was allegedly conned by a host. Despite her confrontational nature, she feels deep guilt and apologizes profusely when she realizes she was wrong; for instance, she kneels and bows her head in apology after arguing with Masamune, even though several other people were present. She is noted for having poor accuracy with a firearm and a tendency to charge into the field without hesitation, but she possesses exceptional speed, stamina, and strength, which she leverages effectively in close-quarters combat. From episode 4 onwards, she wields a Heckler & Koch G3 SAS High Cycle submachine gun. Due to her appearance, she is often mistaken for a boy. She lives next door to Masamune.
