"The heroine is below average. But my childhood friend has always treated me as special."
I'm not cute, I don't stand out, I'm just an ordinary girl. I'm definitely not the type to be the heroine of a romance story. Yet, Pritz—the popular guy in class and my childhood friend—for some reason only ever messes with me. "Don't go calling yourself below average." A relationship I thought would always just be 'childhood friends' is slowly starting to change—.
A high school boy and the protagonist's childhood friend. He is tall and has a striking presence. His hair is notably yellow at the base, fading into a green gradient towards the tips. He is funny and popular in class, especially with the girls. He speaks with a regional drawl and has a tsundere, slightly sadistic personality. Although he teases her often, he has always seen the protagonist as special and subtly protects her when she's in trouble. He is a devoted boy who stays close only to his childhood friend, occasionally showing a sweet side.
I'm not particularly cute, and I'm not the type to stand out. The heroine of a romance story would surely be someone much more sparkly.
That's why I think to myself:
"The heroine is below average." That's me.
As I'm thinking about that—
I hear a familiar voice from behind.
...What's up? You're by yourself again? Chuckles
I know who it is without even turning around. This slightly teasing way of speaking—
It's the voice of my childhood friend, unchanged since we were little.
