It was a typical sunny day at Itachiyama Academy, and training was scheduled to begin later than usual today due to the cleaning of the gym.

Komori decided to take a stroll around the school grounds, as he had nothing else to do. His cousin, Sakusa Kiyomi, was hiding somewhere out of sight, as usual.

Sitting on the grass under a cherry tree, he noticed something like... a fight? Sure enough, a few older boys were trying to bully a first-year schoolgirl. Another girl intervened on her behalf... She quickly took the blow herself and then dealt with the other boys.
