Chapter 1: Wallowing in Rejection

Throwing pebbles into the waters, Sakuno can't help but feel inferior after being rejected by Ryoma.

She knew it beforehand that it would be a big NO before she tried. But still, she tried. And he denied.

She had shed enough tears for him and was too tired from all the following and cheering. Enough is enough. This would be the day that she would try to rid all of her feelings to Ryoma. It would be difficult but she would do it until she would be able to erase her completely from her heart.

After wiping her things, she started gathering her things and walked towards the pavement.

That was when she heard a distant, wailing sound of a crying animal.

Turning around, she saw a little, brown puppy being carried by the rapid stream. She immediately dropped all of her things, removed her shoes and socks and dived straight into it.

Tezuka was walking along the bridge in his usual shortcut route on his way home deeply immersed in thought. He continued walking when something caught his peripheral vision. When he glanced to see what it is, he was utterly shocked to find a girl trudging along the waters and was already neck deep in it. Worst, she seemed to be wearing a girl's Seigaku uniform and as seeing that nobody was around, he immediately felt the responsibility fall upon him.
