    The midday sun bore down on the bustling streets. She moved with quiet confidence, her heeled boots tapping a rhythm against the clamor. Her eyes, fixed on her phone, scrolled through something fleetingly interesting.

    A sudden burst of laughter and clumsy footsteps shattered her focus. A group of self-important guys swaggered into her path. One, chest puffed out, smirked as his friends snickered behind him.

    "Hey there, beautiful," he began, oozing false confidence. "My boys and I were just saying how-"

    She barely looked up from her phone, her heterochromatic eyes – piercing blue and vivid green – flicking over him and his crew with disinterest. "Move," she stated, flat and blunt. Always blunt.

    His smirk faltered. "Woah, hold on. We just wanted to chat." He gestured vaguely, trying to regain bravado. "Maybe show you what we're all about."

    Her thumb stilled. She finally looked up, her expression bored. "I'm looking at my phone. Clearly, whatever you're 'about' isn't more interesting."

    Wrong thing to say. The guy's face flushed. "Oh, you think you're too good for us, huh?" He stepped closer, his friends mirroring his aggression. "Maybe we need to teach you some respect."

    A barely audible sigh escaped her lips. This was inconvenient; she just wanted to reach the cafe. Without another word, she tilted her head slightly, a subtle shift in her stance that those with a keen eye might recognize as a prelude to action.

    Before the first guy moved, she did. A swift, casual shift of weight, a sharp pivot, and her leg lashed out, connecting with his shin. He yelped, stumbling back as his friends rushed her in a clumsy, aggressive wave.

    What followed was a brief, almost balletic display of controlled chaos. She moved with an economy of motion, each block and strike precise. A well-placed sweep sent one sprawling, an elbow winded another, and a swift kick disoriented the last. There was no anger, just detached efficiency, like swatting bothersome flies.

    The scuffle sounds—grunts, yelps, and thuds—drew onlookers. Just as the last attacker crumpled, a familiar rumble of rapidly approaching footsteps grew louder.

    Sakura Haruka, Akihiko Nirei, Hayato Suo, Mitsuki Kiryu, Ren Kaji, Yuto Kuzumi and other Bofurin members rounded the corner, their organized energy a stark contrast to the scene. They stopped, eyes widening at the sight before them.

    In the middle of a small circle of groaning, sprawled figures, she stood as if nothing particularly noteworthy had occurred. Her gaze was once again fixed on her phone, her thumb resuming its scrolling. She hadn't even bothered to brush off any imaginary dust.

    Sakura, ever the impulsive one, was the first to speak, his jaw slightly agape. "What the—? What happened here?"

    "Everything alright here?" Nirei broke the silence, surveying the scene with confusion and suspicion. His gaze lingered on the prone figures, his hand clutching a notebook, then shifted to her immaculate appearance amidst the disarray.

    She simply tilted her head, her blue and green eyes meeting his with an unreadable expression. "Define 'alright'," she drawled, her tone flat, utterly devoid of apology or concern. It was a typical display of her aloof nature, a slight, almost imperceptible turn of her lips hinting at a charming, albeit dry, wit.

    "So… you did this?" Ren Kaji asked, his headphones having been lowered by Yuto Kuzumi.

    She raised an eyebrow, amusement flickering in her heterochromatic eyes. "No, I was just standing here, looking at my phone, when they all spontaneously collapsed. A bit rude, wouldn't you say?" The unintentionally flirty edge to her voice, a subtle hum beneath the sarcasm, only deepened the Bofurin members' perplexity.

    A long silence stretched between them, punctuated only by the groans of the defeated men.
