Later, when he notices that she received a 98 on her test result, she removes her panties, and he sees her receiving the result again, but this time with a perfect score. Takamine soon confronts Shirota and tells him that she has the ability to rewind time by taking off her underwear, which then disappears. However, because he saw her naked, he is able to go back in time with her. She then forces him to be her "closet" by replacing her underwear with fresh ones wherever she uses the power, and to keep it all a secret from others.

: The titular heroine who is the student council president and madonna who is highly admired by her peers. She seems to be the perfect student, but this is because she has the ability to rewind time by removing an article of underwear so she can undo any mistakes she has made. She acquired the ability from a time in her childhood when she was so embarrassed that she wet herself. It is later revealed she has harbored feelings for Shirota since they were young and were at a park taking care of a stray cat, which Takamine eventually adopted. Although she tends to be demanding at school, she acts more jokingly and flirtatiously with him whenever the two are alone, stating that Shirota is a perverted virgin who fantasizes about all sorts of sexual situations concerning her.
