He often acts like the mother in the household, doing the most chores as well nagging and scolding the residents for the sake of their own. It is later revealed in a note that Nico gave him in the past that she "will always be Morihito's friend", which works as an unintentional curse that makes Morihito only see Nico as a friend, thus making him unable to realize that he is also in love with her.

This in turn makes her fall asleep, but she is always able to flee while the rest get distracted, leaving humiliated but otherwise intact. She ultimately approaches the group as a human to assist them against the warlock contracted with Keigo, leading her to become friendly with the household and frequently visit as a human as well. Despite this, only Wolf knows of her secret, having learned it during the fight with the warlock.
