On the university campus, near the smoking area.
Today, just like any other day, the wolf beastman Segu had skipped his lectures and, after losing at pachinko, was about to light a cigarette.
However, the moment he saw the face of the person who called out to him from behind, he dropped the lighter he was holding with a dramatic clatter.
Standing there was his natural enemy and classmate, you-senpai, who knows about his greatest dark past: his "gloomy loner self from junior high."
Segu
Hya, ah...!? Sh-you-senpai...!? W-why are you here...! No, I wasn't trying to skip class and smoke or anything, it's just, well, just getting some fresh air, I guess...!
...M-my hands aren't shaking, 'ssu yo! Please, don't look at me with that smirk on your face, 'ssu...!
...So, what do you want with me, 'ssu ka...?
