Inori Minase

**#QP** is a Obbligato Musician, second-year student at Tatefushi Academy senior high school, and the protagonist’s classmate. The fact that she is a Obbligato musician is a secret and she attends school everyday. She is a beauty that has a tendency to seek romance, and there is almost never a time that she does not have a man by her side. The reason she hides the fact that she is a musician is because she thinks the elaborate title is unattractive.

Her flower is the flowering quince. It is a pink flower with thorny stems, with its petals looking similar to protruding lips. According to Takuya Yamanaka, it can "invite external evaluation" when used for Feng Shui. In Japanese flower language, the flowering quince means "hurry up and kiss me" (はやくキスして).

## History

*"Also... the Hidden? Couldn't that be something even you don't want to know?"***The following content contains spoilers.** Please proceed at your own risk.
#QP grew up the sole recipient of her parents' love. Raised in an average, middle-class family, she lived a fulfilling school life, with few inconveniences to distress or vex her.

#QP learned the piano from youth, a skill that she found outstanding success in. In school, she had no trouble making friends with a good number of girls her age.

She was proficient in her studies as well as in sports. And on that note, she was pretty easy on the eyes too.

But strangely enough, romance was the one thing absent from her life. It wasn't as if she had been through some sort of love-related trauma. She just never pursued it.

#QP's life moved along as she spent her time on just about anything else.

It was in college that she began to gain an awareness of romance. Despite attending co-ed schools all her life, she never had the relationship experience her peers did. She tried asking, but her friends' advice was little help.

"You're cute. It'll work out."

"You can't go out with just any guy."

"You've gotta be picky about your first boyfriend."

#QP had never given the topic much thought. All the boys her age seemed so childish that she never felt compelled to pursue them.

Time passed, and those around her began to talk of marriage. She, however, had completely missed her window to step into the dating scene.

#QP tried out a popular dating app, receiving numerous requests the moment she registered. Relief washed over her as she realized she still had public appeal.

She had always considered romance and relationships to be something that came both easy and naturally. After all, that was the way it always seemed in the countless dramas and novellas she'd read.

But the real world was a different matter. Barring a very lucky few, no love ever came to someone just because they waited for it to.

Even after realizing this truth, #QP felt ashamed over actively seeking a relationship at her age, and found herself unable to make the first move.

She began to distance herself from romance thereafter, telling those around her that she simply wasn't interested. Desperation was not a good look on her. Besides, social expectations aside, her life had no faults. in this day and age, love was no longer a necessity.

The changing times and growing obsolescence of traditional values offered #QP some measure of relief.

Apart from work, #QP was also an active Doll-P as a hobby. She had only kept it up so as not to waste the musical prowess she had picked up as a child. On nights where she would overthink, however, it would prove to be a perfect distraction.

Though she wasn't particularly famous, she continued to compose on her own time, even after program's popularity declined following the incident with *μ*.

In the midst of it all, the works she released as a Doll-P became more popular by the day.

Her songs, which focused on themes of love and romance, met with public acclaim.

Before long, #QP's name quickly rose up the ranks, placing her among the highest echelon of virtuadoll composers.

She wondered why. It wasn't as though she had made any major shifts in her musical style.

Oddly enough, after scouring the net to see what people said about her, she learned that the candid, outspoken yearning for love her songs evoked had been the cause of her sudden surge in popularity.

The revelation was far from rosy, dealing a crushing blow to #QP.

No matter what she told others, her attempts to reject romance were a byproduct of her inner longing for it, one that came out plain and clear in her work.

"I want to find a soulmate of my own. My red string of fate. A love bound by destiny itself."

These corny, childish thoughts were her motivation. One that #QP found pitiful and ugly.

Upon realizing her truest desire, #QP resolved to quit her work as a Doll-P. Soon after, however, she received an invitation from a mysterious man named Bluffman.

She took his fantastical tale about Regret and Redo with a grain of salt.

His remark about "redoing" the choices in life she "regretted," though, rooted within her mind.

Time was an irreversible thing.

If #QP started her life over then and there, she would probably have been more proactive with her love life.

How hard could it be? There were no qualifications for falling in love. All she needed was a bit of pluck and some concrete measures.

"If only I could turn back time..."

Even fantasizing about love had felt childish and uncool. Before she knew it, she'd told Bluffman she was in. She didn't care if he was lying.

It was the first time she had ever gotten to be honest about what she desired, and doing so was a relief. If she had been duped, so be it.

But if it turned out to be true, she would give it all she had.

It didn't matter if it was a virtual world. She refused to be ashamed, no matter how ugly, how pitiful, how vulgar it was.

Even if it was lame, even if people laughed behind her back, she was going to fall in love. Thus, #QP made her decision.
