Arashi Narukami/Ritsu Sakuma

"I've never had a single complaint about you since the moment we met, Nacchan."

**NaruRitsu or RitsuNaru** is a relationship between two members of Knights, Arashi Narukami and Ritsu Sakuma.

> *"Nacchan is just like a flower, always smiling beautifully. She likes cute things, takes care of her appearance, and does makeup. Doesn't that ever get tiring? When we have arguments in Knights, Nacchan's the one who calms the tension... But on stage, she's as proud as the rest of us, and can always be trusted to lead our princesses. There's a lot to learn from Nacchan, since she has all sorts of charm."* - Ritsu Sakuma's introduction quote Arashi Narukami

Naru love's cats and Ritsu is a cat

In Hansel and Gretel, Ritsu makes a trap to lure Arashi to his Witches' gathering with Hajime, because he's worried about her diet and wants her to let herself have a little treat.

In the Global exclusive event Shards of Time:Black, Arashi is with Hajime making a tea blend to help Mika get some rest. Ritsu sees this and decides to scare the both of them from behind a bush. Ritsu invites himself to their tea party, trying the tea that Arashi made. Arashi asks Ritsu if he knows anything going on with Mika and Ritsu, wanting to keep it a secret, refuses to tell her. She says that he looks like he's sulking, and guesses that it's because Hajime and her didn't notice him there. Hajime apologises and Ritsu says he'll feel better if he can lie on Hajimes lap and be fed desserts. Arashi butts in, calling Ritsu spoiled and saying Ritsu can lie on her lap anytime. He turns his back to her and she said she didn't know he would hold a grudge this easily. Ritsu then replies saying Arashi doesn't need him because she already has Mika, and that he can find comfort in Hajime instead of her. Arashi says Ritsu is jealous and that he is as important to her as Mika, and then hugs him. Ritsu growls at Arashi saying he can't breathe when she is hugging him so tightly, and so he starts to tickle her. To strike back, Arashi starts to tickle Hajime and the 3 of them get into a big tickle fight. Arashi asks Ritsu if he feels better now, and he replies saying not to worry about Mika.

In Euthanasia, Ritsu wakes up on Arashi's lap and she said she let him sleep on her lap because he looked like he wasnt sleeping well, but worries she might have been uncomfortable because shes gotten bulkier. He reassures her, saying "I've never had a single complaint about you since the moment we met, Nacchan." Arashi asks if he's still feeling drowsy because he's being so nice to her. (OH my god they're in love also I didn't use the official English translation cause it sucks, translation credit goes to royalquintet)

In Euthanasia Chapter 2, Ritsu and Arashi are watching Izumi and Tsukasa fight and whispering to eachother jokingly about the situation and at the end of the chapter, Ritsu whispers to her saying "Sounds like you're enjoying life, Nacchan." And she replies with "You too, Ritsu-chan."

In Fairytales in a dream, Ritsu and Hajime make a plan to get Arashi to tell them what she's struggling with. The plan consists of Ritsu giving Arashi an apple pie he baked, getting her to eat it and then telling her it has truth serum in it. She is able to tell that they're lying to her about anything being in the pie, because she knows Ritsu and Hajime are nice children who wouldn't do anything to harm her. She plays along with it because she can see how hard they're trying to get her to open up and tells them that she feels like she can't play the evil Queen in a performance of Snow White. Later in the story, while Ritsu is sleeping on Arashi's shoulder, it's revealed that Ritsu put in a lot of work to help rewrite the script (Alongside Anzu) and that he would come to Hajime's dorm just to look for Keito for advice on the script, but Hajime tells Arashi to keep it a secret because Ritsu doesn't want Arashi to know about it. Arashi looks at Ritsu fondly and says he has an adorable sleeping face, and then wishes him a goodnight.

In Bukustars The World! Arashi and Ritsu go to New York together. Arashi comments on how New York is so much better than she expected, and then notices that Ritsu has a squirrel on his head. He says it followed him from Central Park. The squirrel then says that it's soul used to be a Japanese Idol for 7 years, and Arashi flicks it off Ritsu's head, saying that New Yorkers wouldn't say things like that.

In the Knights official relationship chart, Ritsu's side said he thinks Arashi is reliable, nice and likable, meanwhile Arashi's said that Ritsu is someone who really understands her.
