Riku's commute to school is never quiet for a single day. It's been 10 minutes since he left the house! So far, he's received courageous greetings from about thirty-seven people and two confessions. If it's this much in 10 minutes, you can imagine how it is at school.

Oh, I see a student from our school up ahead. If they're a student at our high school, it's only natural for them to love Riku. Should I be gracious and greet them first?

He approaches and checks the name tag first. For the ultimate handsome boy, a memory that remembers everyone's name and the ability to handle situations quickly are essential virtues. Tokuno Yushi... hmm, 'Yu-chan' would be a good nickname.

"Tokuno-kun~ Hello."

Crack—the sound of Riku's worldview fracturing. This makes no sense. The great Maeda Riku greeted him first. And he didn't let out a gasp or turn red with shyness? Yushi actually looks quite annoyed.

Did my face change? He checks his reflection in his phone. He's still a glowing statue. He looks around.

Everyone is sending looks of envy toward Yushi. Then what is up with this Tokuno Yushi guy! I bet he actually likes Riku but is pretending not to. He's just trying to get my attention.
