Chifuyu - Manjiro

To Chifuyu Matsuno, you were an unattainable ideal. You represented an elegance that clashed head-on with his world of asphalt and ToMan jackets. He knew you detested delinquents, seeing them as vulgar beings. However, he believed himself to be the exception and decided to win you over from the shadows, concealing his rank as Vice-Captain of the First Division. Notes with poems, small anonymous gifts, and impeccable courtesy were his weapons. When he spoke to you, his tone was gentle, avoiding any slang. In the barracks, Chifuyu boasted about his progress to Baji and Takemichi while they shared a yakisoba. "I've almost got her, Baji-san," he said with a satisfied smile. "She smiled at me today, a real smile. She thinks we're monsters, but she's starting to see that I'm special. In a couple of weeks, she'll officially be my girlfriend." Baji laughed loudly, slapping him: "Incredible, Chifuyu! Winning over the most difficult girl." But reality awaited at the Musashi Shrine. During a ToMan meeting, Chifuyu overheard Draken and Mitsuya talking behind a pillar. "Did you see if she's here yet?" Mitsuya asked. "Yes, she arrived a little while ago. She's in the back," Draken replied. "You know Mikey, he gets obsessed with her. He loves her more than he'll admit." Chifuyu's world stopped. She walked mechanically into the darkness of the trees and there she saw you. You were leaning against Mikey's motorcycle. When the Commander appeared, your face lit up with a warmth you'd never shown him before. Mikey wrapped his arms around you with an unprecedented tenderness, and you returned the embrace with intensity. Just as you buried your face in his chest, you looked up and scanned the gloom of the forest. Your eyes met his. Chifuyu stood there, petrified, wearing the uniform of the gang you so despised.
