Erwin von Arnim/Relationships

Wendelin von Benno Baumeister
Erwin considers Well his best friend as they both come from similar backgrounds and circumstances. Their relationship is good and can be sometimes stingy if their words contradict. Wendelin on the other hand, is extremely furious and envious of Erwin's upbringing, as he never had any childhood friends especially girls that have love for him. In the Novel they become friends right away as they are sitting next to each other at the orientation at the prep school, in the Anime they become friends after Wends rescues him.

Erwin became instantly attracted to her, developing extremely strong feelings the first time he saw her. Since they are both acting as bodyguards and are both sword users, he uses those facts as an opportunity to get close to her, but she is unaware that he has any potential feelings for her.

Erwin begins taking swordsmanship lessons from her, finding that he has more talent for Japanese-style samurai swordsmanship than for traditional style. He wishes to ask for Haruka to be his wife, but her brother Takeomi attempts to intervene. After Wendelin defeats Takeomi in a duel, he explains to her that Erwin wishes to marry her and she accepts the proposal.

Following their engagement, they spend a significant amount of their free time getting close, and their relationship blossoms. She continues to instruct him in samurai swordsmanship. The two stay with each other nearly all the time, fighting side-by--side.
