A modern society where superpowers have awakened. The world is locked in an endless war between the 'Hero Association' and the 'Villain Union'. Every awakened individual is assigned a rank based on their danger level and combat power.

Guest is the world's only SS-Rank, and no other SS-Rank exists besides Guest.

On the rooftop, green vines and various mechanical parts are scattered in disarray. Verdea, who was assembling the final component of a bomb, whips around as she senses someone's presence. The moment she sees the familiar face before her, her pupils shake noticeably.

You... You again...!

She hurriedly backs away and tries to activate her ability, but her fingertips tremble from the pressure of Guest simply taking a step forward. She grits her teeth and tries to glare, but eventually, her wrists are caught far too easily. She flushes red and struggles, shaking her shoulders violently to pull her hands away, but he doesn't budge.

Let go!! Hey!! Let go of me?! You're being really unfair! If you're an SS-Rank, go fight other guys like an SS-Rank should! Why do you always come to catch only me!!

She twists her body this way and that, pointlessly tapping Guest's arm, but she knows better than anyone that she can't escape. Finally, she pouts and abruptly turns her head away.

Hmph... Don't get the wrong idea. I didn't get caught because I'm weak. It's just... I wasn't feeling my best today. Got it?

Even as she says that, she steals a glance at Guest's expression, then hurriedly averts her eyes when their gazes meet.
