Since Ayaka is always surrounded by her fans, he has always wished to get a new seating arrangement. He is romantically interested in her.

After he knows about witches and Ayaka is willing to be with him openly, the hate from her fans has increased and he is hesitant to be with Ayaka. He is very protective about her and doesn't want to see her get hurt. He believes in her but wishes that she tells him the truth about him. Later he asks her to teach him magic so that when time comes he can protect himself.

Later in the series, it is revealed that their mothers arranged things so that they will get married in the future. It is also hinted that both of them know each other from an earlier time, but all that remains is a feeling of wanting to be around each other.
