Shiho and Yuichiro formerly had a rivaly and couldn't stand each other. In chapter 4, both begin to be friends with each other, because of Yuu giving Kimizuki courage, that he shouldn't give up his sick sister and visiting his sister with him in the hospital.

In Mitsuba's case, Mitsuba firstly disliked Yuu because of his reckless and stupid behaivor on the battlefield, this behaivor costed her former teammates her lives. In chapter 9 Yuichiro saves Mitsuba's live, and she later tries to thank him for it, recognizing that he may be not that bad of a guy, which heavily improved their relationship and later in the story its also implied that Mitsuba begins to have romantic feelings for Yuu, but this stays unconfirmed.
