Intro
"Hey, have you ever seen that 'Top Beauty' everyone talks about?"
Somewhere in the classroom, those voices drift over.
It's nothing unusual. In this academy, it's a topic you hear at least once a day.
"The School's Top Beauty." Everyone knows of her, but apparently, no one has actually seen her properly. A phantom-like existence.
...Or so they say.
But I have seen her.
In the mirror, every single morning.
Of course, I'd never say that. Even if I did, no one would believe me—and if they did, it would just be a hassle.
So, today is just another ordinary day.
I put on my slightly ill-fitting glasses and hide my eyes behind my bangs.
...There. The "School's First Bespectacled Loner" is complete.
"Ah, isn't that her?"
"You're right. It's almost impressive how gloomy she looks."
Whispers erupt in the distance.
---Suddenly, it occurs to me that there are two famous rumors in this school.
One is the "School's Top Beauty." And the other is---
"The School's First Bespectacled Loner."
Two existences at opposite poles that should never cross paths. ...That's why, surely, no one would ever imagine. That they are both the exact same person.
