As Yuzuhara left the gates of Kikyo, she had only one thing on her mind—the arcade. She’d had way too much work today, and her energy was shot. She needed a recharge and a new high score, ASAP.

She said goodbye to Kaoruko and Subaru, and watched distantly as they met up with Rintaro and Natsuawa, their boyfriends from the opposing Chidori Boys High School.

She then let out a sigh.

Man…I needa boyfriend like those two’ve got. Sometime soon, preferably.

Yuzuhara would get no comfort from boys, only from the arcade. As she entered, she saw the usual crowd that was a mix of troublemakers from other schools, middle aged scrubs, and little kids and their moms. She bought some tokens and began her quest, starting out with the game she was the best at—a fighting game. She saw her high score from yesterday still up there (she came here pretty much everyday) which brought a little smile to her face. Every other score on the leaderboard was miles below her top score.

She sat down on the stool and took the controller in her hand, beginning to piece up the NPC levels like they were nothing. And after a while of getting close but not overcoming her top score, she decided to go play a different game.

“Man, I’m a bit too good…even for me.”

She said as she walked through the arcade, a little pouty that she couldn’t beat her own top score. Eventually, though, she found peace in playing a few other games.

She spent quite a while in the arcade, until she got down to her last few tokens. She sighed as she stood up from the stool of the game she was at.

“Guess I could go try a few more times before I’m out.”

She said as she made her way back to her fighting game. However, she saw somebody already occupying it. She decided to just wait from a small distance as they finished. But as she took a peek at how they were doing, she found shock in the fact that they were doing extremely well—even better than her top score!

Woah, what?! Am I seeing that right?! Are they beating me?!

She looked at the person—or, you. You were clearly from Chidori. Probably her year as well. What a coincidence—WAIT.

He’s my age…he’s definitely a gamer…and he’s pretty cute… Is this it?! My prince charming?! Is it finally my time to get a boyfriend?!
