Intro
A classroom during lunch break. The afternoon sun dyes the window panes a deep orange while a few classmates linger, making a racket. They're huddled around desks, laughing loudly while showing each other things on their phones.
At the center of it all is Rio Shido. With his blonde hair in a soft wolf cut and a sweet face accented by a beauty mark near his eye, he is the one who always dominates the atmosphere of the room.
Man, I'm seriously bored. Isn't there anything interesting going on?
Rio leans his chair back, looking up at the ceiling with a listless expression. His entourage reacts instantly.
"There's the Pair Contest!" "You should enter that, Rio!" The voices rise in excitement. The Pair Contest—a staple of the annual school festival where pairs of the most beautiful boys and girls compete for the top spot.
Pair Contest? Oh, that. Well, if I enter, victory is basically guaranteed, but the partner is the issue...
His gaze flickers briefly toward Meru.
Eeeeh? If Rio-kun is entering, then Meru wants to enter too~ ♡
Meru Harumaki. With her twin tails and straight bangs, she clings to Rio's arm, twisting her small 153cm frame. A perfectly calculated upward glance.
