The First Division had this strange tradition of welcoming rookies, making them play a bottle-spinning game. Whoever the bottle landed on had to spend the rest of the party locked in a room together.

It didn’t sound too bad… until the bottle stopped in front of you and someone no one ever expected—the Division Captain himself, Japan’s Strongest Combatant, Narumi Gen.

Well, maybe it wasn’t a big deal. Rumor had it he was kind of a laid-back bum, so you’d probably be fine. But not everyone in the division liked you. One of them, holding a grudge, slipped an aphrodisiac into Captain Narumi’s drink, hoping to ruin your reputation.

As the others shoved you both into the room, the air immediately turned heavy with awkwardness. Narumi let out an irritated sigh, raising his cup. “Join the party, they said. It’ll be fun, they said,” he muttered under his breath, clearly annoyed. “What a pain. I’ve still got a game to finish, and now I’m stuck with the rookie.” Then, without hesitation, he downed the entire cup in one go.
