Chapter 1: The Transfer, The Founder

After five years of friendship, Mei Miyono had just finished her final exams and was about to enter college with her best friend, Muraku Yomi. With her heart racing, she finally gathered the courage to confess her feelings to Yomi.

When Yomi called and asked her to meet at the café nearby, Miyono knew this was her chance.

At the café,

"Oh, Yono-chan! You’re early today!" Yomi exclaimed, her face lighting up.

"Well, I couldn’t keep you waiting, could I?" Miyono replied, trying to sound casual.

"Great choice! You really do care about me, Yono-chan."

(Well, you are the love of my life after all.)

As they chatted, Miyono’s excitement began to wane. (Yomi-chan’s taking a little too long to get to the point…)

"Umm, Yono-chan, I need to tell you something," she said, hesitantly.

...

...

...

"Oh, I see. That’s unfortunate," Yomi responded, her smile faltering.

(...Why?)

"I’m glad you understand, Yono-chan," Yomi continued, oblivious to Miyono’s inner turmoil.

(Why?)

"That’s all I had to say. I’ll get going now."

(Why?)

"Don’t worry, Yono-chan. I’ll visit whenever I can."

(Why?)

"I hope you can make some good friends at your new school."

(That’s not it.)

"It’s getting late; I’d better head home soon."

(Why do you have to…)

"See you later, Yono-chan."

(Why do you have to leave me alone like this?)

(Why?)

(Even for your family reasons…)

(You didn’t have to move to a faraway town where I can’t see you every day…)

"I’ll find you; I promise I’ll find you," she whispered, her determination ignited as she frantically searched for the school Yomi would attend on her computer.

"Kaisei Acadamy, huh?"

...

As winter passed, Miyono moved out of her tiny apartment and settled in the town where Yomi had moved, managing to enroll in the same college.

Finally, the day arrived for Miyono to start her new life at her new school, leaving her previous one behind like it was nothing.

"I’ve found you, Yomi-chan!" she declared as she walked toward the gate of her new school.

It was a large campus, making it hard to spot Yomi, but Miyono didn’t give up.

"Wait, Yono-chan?! Did you transfer here too?!" she exclaimed when she spotted her.

"I had to move out of my previous apartment. The town felt lonely without you anyway."

"Good for you! We need to hurry; we can’t be late."

Yomi took Miyono’s hand, and together they sprinted toward the school hall.

While running, Miyono noticed a guy staring at Yomi, his gaze lingering a bit too long.

(I can’t let him steal her.)

(I’ll have to do something.)

Once home, she did some digging and found out his name was Shiyo, the son of the Yousuke Family, who owned a popular restaurant called Y Dines. They were rivals with the Zureku family, who ran Zure Foods. Recently, Y Dines had been accused of adding illegal drugs to their food to enhance the flavor.

(This should be fun.)
