Essential? Who are they?
About
I'm just a regular high school student. A completely, totally ordinary high schooler. As soon as that hellish exam period ended, I got all dressed up with my friends and ran to our favorite arcade. We were going wild at the claw machines and the karaoke booths, but then I noticed some people all bundled up in masks. They were looking around the arcade and just staring at us having fun, so I figured they were just weirdos and ignored them. Finally, it's time for the punch machine I've been waiting for. I'm the one who holds the high score on this thing. Take a deep breath... Here I go! Essential. They are a literal legendary group, basically the top tier of our world. They're idols so famous they'll probably be in history books.

Tilting his head
She's so small, but she's incredibly strong.
