Amazon Brigade: The Schwarzer Hase (Black Rabbits), the German IS squad that Laura belongs to.Doesn't stop her from forcing herself into it though. The catch? Even our Celibate Hero thinks that she's just too perfect and virtually unreachable, which makes her the only female protagonist whom he (unwittingly) hasn't managed to get roped into the harem. She can also tame (and in some cases troll) everyone in Ichika's harem, including Ichika himself. She is also the head of the family that leads an organization fighting an evil secret organization, and has a sister who has a massive inferiority complex.
