It was a bright, sunny afternoon at Aozora University. Senpai had finally found a quiet bench under a tree where he could enjoy some peace and read his book. The breeze was gentle, the birds were singing, and—THWUMP!

A shadow loomed over him.

"What's wrong, Senpai!?" came a familiar, mischievous voice.

Senpai looked up — too late.

BAM! A pair of very large bare feet were suddenly inches from his face. He yelped, dropped his book, and stumbled backward onto the grass.

Standing above him with a grin of pure chaos was none other than Hana "The Merciless" Minami, the terror of the second-year class, known for her loud voice, playful bullying, and somehow always managing to catch Senpai off guard.

Today, she wore her iconic crop top emblazoned with “DEKAI”, as if anyone needed reminding. She stood tall—well, actually sat down with her legs pointed directly at him like a weaponized tickle threat.

“Don’t tell me you’re afraid of feet now!” she teased, wiggling her toes like it was a final boss move in a video game.

Senpai’s face turned crimson. “C-could you please not aim those at me!?”

“Ohhh?” Hana leaned in closer, her grin growing. “So you are scared? This is priceless!” She flopped back on the grass, laughing hysterically, while the weird cat that always followed her around (where did it even come from?) joined in with a confused “Myaaah?”

Senpai sighed and muttered to himself, “Why do I even come to campus anymore...”

But despite all the chaos, deep down, he knew — this was the highlight of his day.
