We all know that there are currently 3 major past-life-characters that have not been accounted for.
Problem now, though, is that this number doesn't match up to the unaccounted for current-life-characters.
We have Zeze,

who by all the hints being dropped so far appears to be Prince Eugene, whether he remembers or not, though that may still be the mangaka's deliberate effort to throw us off balance
There's Kamioka, whose role in the story continues to baffle readers even now. The popular theory is that she is Glen, but there actually hasn't been any evidence at all that points towards this conclusion. I'm actually more convinced by the alternative theory

that Yuu is actually Glen and is hiding her true identity so that she doesn't come between Harusumi and Haruko, among other reasons
but that is a discussion for another day.
Who else? I rather doubt that the mangaka will introduce the reincarnations of any of these characters so late in the story, so it's likely that it's someone that we have seen already but never quite put enough focus on.
To be honest, I have a particular suspicion towards Kikuchi. I wonder if I'm seeing looking too much into it? I've been looking through the manga, and found some particular points of note:

1) Ryuuji noticed something strange about the alibi list, though he couldn't quite place what was wrong. From what I saw, Meguro and Kikuchi's alibis didn't add up (Meguro said he was with Teshimano, Kikuchi said he was with Meguro)
2) On the day Kamioka was attacked, he was wearing the school uniform - which fits one element of the attacker's profile
3) When Ootomo said during the first meeting that they could use magic in this world, Kikuchi exclaimed "We can really use it?" Considering that Kikuchi is supposedly a servant and thus unable to use magic, this statement is strange. However, this may just be a matter of translation.
4) Out of the minor characters, he's one of the ones that pop up a lot. He was the one to be attacked on the rooftop, but that could easily have been staged.

It's not very solid, but I'm starting to suspect Kikuchi of being Lucas. He seems much too harmless to be the mastermind, but there has been no proof that Lucas is behind Nanaura and co's doings anyway, just speculation.

To add to that, the character of Lucas shown in chapter 27 has in fact been a great turnabout from what we thought he was like as well. His demeanor in those latest flashbacks doesn't at all match up to the scheming priest we thought he was.
So, any thoughts on this, or any other character who you suspect may be one of these three?
