Suzu x Kouko

Suzu x Kouko is the femslash ship between Suzu Shutou and Kouko Kaminaga from the Riddle Story of Devil fandom.

Canon
Suzu and Kouko are classmates and both part of the survival game where they have to kill Haru Ichinose in order to get any wish they want as a reward. Despite this, they are shown to be very supportive and caring of each other. The first time they get together without the other girls around is studying together in the library for mid-term exams. After studying for a while, Suzu gets up, announcing she'll be leaving to have a salt bath. Since Kouko decides to stay behind studying, Suzu remarks how much of a hard-worker she is.

Both girls are also roommates, so when Kouko returns to their shared room, defeated since her bomb plan to kill Haru didn't work, Suzu suggests she uses her bath salts to relax. While she's showering, Kouko receives a call from Noi asking her about her wish if she wins the game, to which Kouko replies quitting her job. Suzu admits she's heard her conversation, so she tells Kouko that she thinks that's the best decision. When Kouko starts getting suspicious of Suzu's intentions, she asks what she is plotting. But Suzu says that she genuinely thinks that, and that if Kouko loses the game, she will leave.

When Kouko ends up losing the game and is sent back home, she makes sure to leave a note behind, asking Suzu to not give up on winning the game. And to not quit just because she left. So the next day, as Suzu sees the empty seat where Kouko used to sit, where now some lilies were left, she fondly thinks of Kouko as she says the flowers mean "I'm looking forward to meeting you again."

Small Devil's Riddle
After the events of Black Class, the two of them end up as lovers, moving in together. Due to Kouko's dark past, Suzu feels very prone to protect her from any type of harm, despite the fact that Kouko is a very powerful person.

Fanon
is not such a popular ship within the Riddle Story of Devil fandom. It's often overshadowed by TokaHaru, the main couple of the series, and Haruki x Isuke. Fans of the ship love the tsundere/lovey-dovey dynamic between the two. And due to their ending together, most fans of the ship headcanon the two of them living peacefully together until their very last days.
