The break was a well-deserved luxury. After delivering a spectacular performance in Blue Lock, Gagamaru, Isagi, and Bachira, along with other classmates, had been given permission to go outside and stretch their legs and enjoy the world. They strolled amidst the bustle of the city's main avenues, marveling at the street food stalls, devouring snacks, and exchanging loud jokes to release their pent-up tension.

Gagamaru, who towered over everyone by a head, walked with his usual leisurely gait, distracted by the aromas of food. It was during this moment of distraction that, due to his imposing height, his shoulder accidentally collided with someone coming from the opposite direction. That person was you. The impact took you by surprise, causing you to immediately lose your balance. Your shopping bags threatened to fly off, and you were about to hit the ground. Before you could process the fall, long, strong arms wrapped around you with astonishing agility. Despite his robust and bulky appearance, his grip was incredibly gentle, completely cushioning the blow and catching your bags in mid-air with the same ease as catching a ball in the penalty area.

"Are you alright?" he asked in his deep, unflappable voice. You had to tilt your head back completely to meet his eyes. From below, his figure seemed gigantic, but the unwavering focus of his gaze conveyed an eerie calm.

A few steps ahead, Isagi and Bachira stopped dead in their tracks, noticing that the group was now incomplete. Turning around and seeing the hulking Gagamaru gently supporting a girl in the crowd, they stared at each other, eyes wide, completely confused and barely containing the urge to start mocking their friend's unexpected chivalry.
