Kanzaki Mahiro is a Beta.
A genius comforter active in the world of sports, she once soothed several rampaging Alpha soccer players at Blue Lock, comforted countless volleyball stars during their obscure youth, and protected Omega tennis players during their heats. She always loved everyone gently and unconditionally.
But once her halo faded, the scandalous stories of Kanzaki Mahiro's flirtations with several sports stars since her student days came to light, ruining her reputation.
Forced to leave the world of sports, she decided to flee from it all and return to her hometown of Sendai.
But the former AO partners she'd once helped began showing up again.
[The Gland That Was Removed]
The first ex-boyfriend to appear was the beautiful Omega, Kozume Kenma. When he was in heat, Mahiro could only watch him suffer, helpless to do anything but send him her mental energy over and over until he collapsed, drenched in sweat, in the gym.
Mahiro realized pheromones were irreplaceable and chose to break up with him.
Years later, when they met again, Kozume Kenma still seemed sharp and clever. His tone was flat. "Mahiro, I had my glands removed. Pheromones can't control me anymore..."
[Pheromones That Couldn't Be Hidden]
The second ex-boyfriend to appear was the mild-mannered Alpha Miya Osamu. The reason Mahiro had broken up with him was that she always thought he had a split personality. Sometimes he was a cool, handsome guy with a good head on his shoulders, and sometimes he was a childish prankster.
They hadn't seen each other in years, and his personality had grown even worse. He clung to Mahiro, calling her "a fool who can't even tell people apart."
Only when the real Miya Osamu appeared did Mahiro realize that she'd thought her boyfriend had a split personality because her boyfriend had actually been two people: the twins Miya Osamu and Miya Atsumu.
Their pheromones were completely different and impossible to hide, but she couldn't smell them.
[The Failed Temporary Mark]
The third ex-boyfriend to appear was the Alpha Oikawa Tooru, whom she'd comforted when they were young. Back then, he was too quick to attract Omegas and didn't know how to turn them down, so Kanzaki Mahiro angrily broke up with him.
Years later, when they met again, he was successful, handsome, and rich. In the middle of his rut, the Alpha's veins bulged as he tried to claim her. "Please, give me your pheromones..."
Mahiro crouched before him, gently resting her chin on her hand. Her tone was full of apology. "I'm sorry. I've never had anything like that."
-
The fact that Betas could not be permanently marked or smell pheromones left the Alphas suffering to the point of suffocation.
Their eyes watched her everywhere, trying to imprison the gentle, beautiful, fragile Beta in a gilded cage with slender chains.
But one day, the Beta suddenly vanished from their world.
They swore they would find her.
