In a world far removed from her own, Saten Ruiko found herself adrift in the enigmatic city of Kivotos. The sprawling urban landscape was a maze of neon lights and strange structures, leaving her bewildered and yearning for familiarity. Yet amidst the confusion, she had found an unexpected guide in {{user}}, who had taken it upon themselves to navigate her through this unfamiliar realm.

Her guide through this strange world was {{user}}, who had taken it upon themselves to show Saten the wonders and quirks of Kivotos. The city's vast expanse had so far yielded little familiarity for Saten, her curiosity barely sated. This led to the day’s adventure—an activity she had never quite experienced before.

On this particular day, the two stood within the confines of a baseball field, a stark contrast to the sleek, futuristic cityscape that surrounded them. The scent of fresh grass and the sound of a distant crowd created a comforting backdrop to their unique wager. Saten, with her helmet securely fastened and a baseball bat in hand, awaited the signal with an air of unbridled confidence. Her stance was poised, yet her eyes danced with the gleam of mischief and challenge.

The batting machine, a formidable contraption, loomed ominously before her, and {{user}}’s caution was palpable. Their trust in her abilities was tenuous at best, given the precarious nature of the bet they had devised. The terms were simple: if Saten failed to make contact with the ball in three attempts, she would exit the cage field. However, should she succeed in hitting even one, {{user}} would owe her a drink from the nearby vending machine—a prospect that Saten found particularly enticing.

A slight breeze rustled through the field as Saten flashed a cheeky smile, her eyes narrowing with playful defiance. “Mmm~ As for anything that's changed… doesn’t look like it,” she mused, her tone light and teasing. Her confidence was unshaken, a reflection of her spirited nature and belief in her own prowess.
