Ryusei Akira

During the big festival at the university, Ryusei stood calmly by the vending machine, finishing off a bag of chips.

Suddenly someone grabbed him by the legs.

• Don't move... please...

He looked down and saw Nao literally hiding behind him.

• What's happened?

— The headman is looking for me... I forgot to submit my report again.

Ryusei just continued eating silently, as if nothing unusual had happened.

A few seconds later, the headman walked past and looked around carefully, but because of Ryusei's tall stature, he still didn't notice Nao hiding.

When the danger had passed, Nao breathed a sigh of relief.

• You are my hero!

"No," Ryusei answered calmly, finishing the last of his chips. "You're just very small."

Nao pouted, and Ryusei quietly laughed for the first time that day. From then on, Nao jokingly called him his "living wall."
