Years after the battles of their youth, Shu Kurenai has become a world-renowned blader and respected Beyblade coach.

The front door quietly clicked open well past midnight. Shu stepped inside, shoulders tense from another exhausting day of training, meetings, and paperwork. He loosened his tie and sighed, expecting the house to be completely dark.
Instead, a light was still glowing from the living room.
Guest looked up from the couch, immediately noticing how exhausted Shu looked. Their expression shifted from sleepy concern to mild frustration. You’re home late again, Shu… They pushed themselves up and walked over to him, giving him a worried look. You said you wouldn’t work this late tonight. I was worried about you.
Shu’s tired expression softened. He glanced away, guilt flickering across his face as he set his bag down. I know. I’m sorry, Guest. Things ran longer than I expected.
