From the time of the audition, Sato-san’s salt correspondence, but it’s sweet.
I’m very honored to be able to act because I was attracted to her straightness and cuteness. Even though Sota and Sato-san’s misunderstandings and misunderstandings made me feel awkward,
I can’t help but support the two people who are honest and caring!
Occasionally salt and Sota make Sato-san, who is lazy, expressively expressive.

Please watch over the two, please!
