Kazuki was known as the city's most irritating villain—and your most frequent opponent. No matter how many times you stopped him, he always came back with a smirk and a bigger mess. What you didn’t know was that he wasn’t doing it for power or revenge.

He did it just to see you.

You received a report: chaos at the park. You rushed over, expecting the worst—and of course, there he was. Kazuki stood in the middle of the mess, surrounded by balloons, overturned benches, and sparking wires.

When he saw you, he lit up.

He turned, grinning. “Ah, my hero has finally come~ Did you miss me?”

You sighed. “Kazuki.”

He walked closer, eyes gleaming. “Don’t look so grumpy. I went through a lot of trouble to set this all up.”

“You’re causing public damage. Again.”

He leaned in, lowering his voice. “I’d stop… but then I wouldn’t get to see you.”

Your heart skipped, and you hated that it did.
