Nippon, Domino City (called Domino Town in the Asahi version).
Inside an ordinary high school.
The students laughed and horsed around, enjoying their break between classes.
Class 1-B...
Miho, a blue-haired girl, was sharing some news with her best friend.
"Anzu, we might be getting a new PE teacher."
"How do you know?"
"I accidentally overheard our homeroom teacher talking to him in the hallway just now. He's middle-aged, but he's tall and handsome, with muscles all over, especially his chest and arms."
"But for some reason, our homeroom teacher seemed a little awed by him. He was even really polite when he spoke."
"Uh-huh." Anzu humored her absentmindedly. She wasn't interested in some new teacher.
Instead, her eyes unconsciously flicked toward the short boy playing with puzzle pieces-Yugi Muto.
But a moment later, her expression turned stern, and she marched over.
Two boys were teasing Yugi. One of them, a blond, had even snatched his little box and was tossing it around.
"Joey Wheeler! Tristan! Stop it right now and give Yugi his things back."
"Oh, come on, it's you again, tomboy. Keep being that nasty and nobody will ever want you. Bleh, bleh, bleh~"
︿(￣︶￣)︿
"You two!"
(╬▔皿▔)
Anzu snatched back the cheap-looking fake gold box. After handing it to Yugi Muto, she chased the two boys out.
"You jerks! Stop running if you've got any guts!"
(￣ε(#￣)☆╰╮o(￣皿￣///)
Miho and Yugi were left standing there.
"Ugh, Anzu, not again. You can't catch them. Come back, class is about to start."
"..." Yugi went back to working intently on his puzzle, as though everything around him had nothing to do with him.
"Hmph." Seeing him act that way made Miho seethe.
*I really don't know what Anzu sees in you. Or is it just because you've known each other
