Daughter

Married to Koh Tanaka (Vol 8)

**Chizuru Tachibana** (立花 千鶴 *Tachibana Chidzuru*) is the 24 year old school nurse at Kawanuma East who is known as "**Absolute Zero Tachibana**" (絶対零度の立花, *Zettaireido no Tachibana*) for her cold and expressionless attitude towards the students. Initially wanting to relate better with students in general, she eventually takes a liking to Koh Tanaka specifically. She accepts his confession after he graduates. By Volume Eight, she and Tanaka are a married couple, making her **Chizuru Tanaka** (田中 千鶴 *Tanaka Chidzuru*).

## Appearance

* School
* Casual
       Chizuru is a short and beautiful young adult with neck-length light grey hair that has bangs covering the left side of her face with a single hair strand sticking up, light grey eyes and a slender figure with a large bust.

Her work attire consists of a black top underneath a white lab coat along with cuffed denim jeans and black ankle-strap heels. Her casual attire consists of the same black top covered by an open yellow sweater, cuffed denim shorts with brown thigh-high stockings, and grey athletic shoes.

Chizuru is shown to have inverted nipples when her breasts are exposed and her nipples pop outward when stimulated.

## Personality

Chizuru mostly displays an expressionless face and doesn't show much sympathy towards the students despite her position as school nurse. As such she was given the nickname "Absolute Zero Tachibana". She harbored a strong desire to become like the school nurses in the manga she reads where they are friendly with their students. She eventually decided to get to know her students better and took an interest in Koh Tanaka.

Despite her emotionless personality, Chizuru seems to enjoy wearing different types of outfits and clothing based on her fast changing speed and varying wardrobe. On several occasions she is seen stripping out of her clothes in a matter of seconds in addition to wearing unique outfits such as a Christmas costume and striped thigh-highs.
