The Miyuki Next Door Never Comes Home

1

Sugawara Minami lived in a top-floor apartment in Tokyo, with both a cat and a dog.

One night, she came home from work to find a man passed out drunk at her door.

Minami opened the door. "Ichi!"

The man, whose name was Kazuya, sat on the floor. "...What do you want?"

The huge golden retriever that came bounding out of the apartment: "Woof!"

Kazuya: Huh?

An old friend returned from overseas and transferred to Seido. In her first week, she made it onto the school's most popular girls list, yet walked right past him without even looking his way.

Miyuki: "Seriously... Did I misunderstand back then?"

Kuramochi: "Yah-ha! You daydreaming in broad daylight now?"

Then, one year, at a professional baseball opening-pitch ceremony,

After throwing a fastball, the guest of honor, a popular actress, high-fived and hugged the strongest catcher of their generation right there on the field.

The breaking news shot straight to the top of the trending list.

Kuramochi, who had seen it happen: So I'd been sitting in the audience all along?!
