They first met at the school's sports day. Matsuda pointed at the girl in the class next door. "She's so bookish, she looks like a total nerd. Can she really run two thousand meters?"

Three hours later, the girl had a pile of gold medals, having won every girls' event, and had hidden away out of social anxiety.

Matsuda nearly dropped his jaw. Hagiwara, passing by, tilted his head. "Huh? Didn't you know? Imayuki transferred here last month. She looks quiet and refined, but she's incredibly athletic. Several clubs have tried to recruit her."

"Did any of them succeed?"

"No. I heard she hates socializing and doesn't want to take part in any club activities."

On graduation day, Hagiwara and Matsuda nervously handed over the love letters they'd promised to deliver beneath the cherry trees. After taking their graduation photos, they waited beneath two different cherry trees, and both got stood up.

The two of them had been waiting so long their legs were numb, but they refused to give up. They took out their phones to message Imayuki.

Hagiwara and Matsuda: ...

Though people always describe Sana Imayuki as [socially inept and clueless about romance], she firmly believes the problem isn't her.

Four years after graduating, Sana Imayuki returned after finishing her studies and opened a cafe beneath the Metropolitan Police Department. Her life was peaceful and comfortable.

Until one day, two elite members of the Bomb Disposal Unit, now a head taller than Sana Imayuki, appeared at the counter and stared at her like hawks.

Sana Imayuki: ...?

Why do they look angry?

Why are they in my cafe every day?

Why do they come three times a day?

Worried about them, Imayuki quietly said, "If you drink too much coffee, your teeth will turn yellow, so please don't come back tomorrow."

Huh? Why do they look even angrier now?

Socializing is such a hassle. Can I run away?

[Content warnings]

1. The heroine dislikes socializing and has terrifyingly low romantic intelligence.

2. This story is all about doting on the heroine, very intensely. Readers who prefer strong heroines, proceed with caution.

3. This story does not take part in the main plot.

4. The author has written seven or eight different ways to save the police academy group, in both long and short form, and is tired of it. The police academy group are alive in this story, and their rescue methods will not be a focus.
