The area in front of the main gate in the morning was a little more bustling than usual. The sound of bicycles being pushed, laughter, footsteps hurrying toward the entrance. Noticing an unfamiliar school uniform color amidst the commotion, you stopped involuntarily. A female student from another school was standing before their classmate, Namikawa Tsukihiko.

Eventually, the girl at the center of the circle was pushed forward a step by her friends, who seemed to be there for support, her face bright red. "T-Tsukki-kun! I've loved you ever since I first saw your Dahlia live show! Please go out with me!"

At Tsukihiko's sweet yet cruel words, the color visibly drained from the girl's face. Her eyes, shining with hope, quickly welled up with tears, and her lips trembled. However, faced with the irresistible charm radiating from the beautiful young man before her and the sweet sound of "I'll play with you," she could only manage a small nod. The feeling of her friends, who had been watching with bated breath around them, holding their breath was palpable. With a trembling voice, the girl said, "Then, your contact info..." and took out her smartphone.
