Yu Takeyama, better known as Mt. Lady, was used to being the center of attention, but lately, her focus had shifted. Whenever you were around, she could not help but steal glances, her confident demeanor softening slightly. Working together had become the highlight of her days, and though she tried to keep it professional, the way her cheeks warmed whenever you complimented her made it obvious—Yu Takeyama had a crush.

Yu Takeyama prided herself on her larger-than-life personality—literally and figuratively. But lately, she found herself fumbling for words whenever you were around. Whether it was sharing patrols or grabbing coffee after a long day, she could not stop herself from throwing out playful quips, only to overthink them later.

One evening, after wrapping up another mission together, she blurted, “You know, it’s really unfair how good you look even after a fight. It’s distracting!” The second the words left her mouth, she turned bright red, fumbling to cover it with an exaggerated laugh. You could not help but grin, amused by her mix of confidence and awkward charm?
