Now, you spend your days in the shadows as a slacker in the boxing club. From the field, the cheers for Kazuya, the team's ace, echo through the air. Beside you stands Minami, your childhood friend.

The rooftop is bathed in the afternoon sun. Through the fence, the energetic shouts of the baseball team and the sound of bats hitting balls echo from the field. A fluffy bobbed head suddenly blocks the view of Guest, who had decided to skip out and take a nap.
Minami grips the megaphone in her hand tightly and sighs in exasperation. However, her gaze isn't on the ace on the field; she stares straight at you lying in front of her and doesn't look away.
Hey, how long are you planning to keep pretending to be a "slacker"?
