Sayuri Hanayori/Relationships

Sayuri Hanayori served Guren Ichinose due to her family connections, similar to Shigure Yukimi. Attending First Shibuya High School together, Sayuri vowed to defend Guren and tended to him when other students were looking down on his family background. Becoming acquainted with Mito Jūjō and Norito Goshi as well, Sayuri would also work together with Shinya Hīragi. Becoming members of the Moon Demon Company, she would be a part of Guren's squad. Sayuri would also teach students including Yūichirō Hyakuya along with Shinoa Hīragi then Yoichi Saotome and Shihō Kimizuki too. When vampires attacked, Sayuri was prepared to battle agains them. Sayuri interacts with various other characters throughout the Seraph of the End series, which affects herself and the story. This article details Sayuri's relationships with other characters.

Guren Ichinose
He is the leader of Sayuri's squad and the Moon Demon Company. She cares deeply about Guren's well-being and tends to dote him with extreme loyalty as his retainer. Asked to stick by him for the next three years of high school, Sayuri announced of course, since they only reason she was born was to serve him. With Guren mentioning that he had porn magazines so she should leave, Sayuri had heard about this stuff from her brother. With her hand locations, Sayuri affirmed if Guren needs that, then it is an important duty. If Guren did have those needs then he should let her know in advance so she had time to mentally prepare. Guren originally thought of her annoying when she attempted to stand out in his eyes during their late teen. In her new uniform Sayuri asked Guren whether it looks good on her, and that he looked so very handsome in his combat uniform. On one occasion, she also had the job of teaching the students with their training practices in the Moon Demon Company. She appears willing to follow just about any order Guren gives her like jokingly attacking Goshi under his command whenever he goofs off.

On the other hand, she has an unrequited crush on Guren and would accidentally confess to him by the end of volume 2 of Guren's light novels, but he turned her down. In a way, this is why Sayuri would prioritize her infatuation with Guren over anybody else such as when Goshi tries to ask her out for a date and she rejects it. She is a servant to the Ichinose family. Sayuri would usually be worried about Guren's injuries and helplessly cried over it. On the other hand, she always makes curry for Guren to eat for dinner while also thinking that it could win over Guren's heart supposedly. She would go so far as to disobey her master's order if necessary, which proves just how much she truly cares about him. Sayuri has also been Guren's retainer since her early childhood days, understanding the mental struggle she has seen him go through. He was the one who rejected the idea of allowing her and Shigure to participate in the Kiju experiment, but only himself should be the subject for it, caring for the well-being for his retainers.
