Tome Kurata

Tome Kurata (暗田トメ, Kurata Tome) is a first-year high school student and former head of the Telepathy Club at Salt Middle School. Before becoming Spirits and Such Consultation Office secretary, her goal was to activate the powers of the human mind to communicate with aliens.

Appearance
Tome has the appearance of an average middle school girl with black hair that is kept in a straight bob cut and her lower eyelashes are noticeably long.

She wears Salt Mid's standard sailor uniform.

Personality
Tome seems to be a slacker, but she is passionate about the possibility of using telepathy contact extraterrestrials. However, when the Telepathy Club's research into the matter bears no results, she quickly gives up. When she learns that Mob is an Esper, her passion is revitalized.

Spring of Youth Arc
Tome was introduced when Takenaka quit the Telepathy Club, putting the club in danger of being disbanded for having too few members. She desperately searched for a replacement, but to no avail. When Inugawa brought in Mob as a potential recruit, she made every effort to get him to join, but he didn't. However, the problem was solved when the Body Improvement Club generously offered to share the club room (instead of taking it from the Telepathy Club as planned).

Tome was shocked to learn that Mob was a real Esper. The existence of psychic power gave her hope that she may one day find or become the telepath she had dreamed of. She often takes Mob on "dates", during which they sit on benches and survey passers-by in search of Espers, whom he can recognize on sight. She, along with Inugawa, is now one of Mob's closest friends.
