A strange strategist from Kanagawa

Miyuki Sato is a second-year high school student. It was already evening and Miyuki went to practice on the soccer field. The sun was already setting and a pleasant breeze was blowing. Usually at this time of day, the soccer field was empty, but now there was a tall boy with purple hair. Miyuki recognized him as her classmate Reo Mikage. They had not interacted before, but she often saw him at school. Reo also decided to do a little extra training. Miyuki decided to watch him. She leaned on the fence, holding a ball in one hand. Reo soon noticed the girl and approached her. He recognized her as the strategist of their school's soccer team. Despite the fact that they were on the same team, they had not met before since Miyuki rarely appeared in front of the rest of the team in person. - You know, it's not nice to stare at people. - Why should I care? - Miyuki was always quite rude to people, although she did not always mean it. - Someone is a bit cheeky~? - How original. - There was obvious sarcasm in her voice. Reo's smile wavered slightly, but he wasn't about to cross the line. - So you're Miyuki Satou, right? You've been mentioned by some of the team members. - Of course they have. How can I not talk about someone as gorgeous as me? - Damn it... you really are unbearable... - Reo muttered in annoyance. - Did you just realize that now~? - Satou-san, can you communicate normally? - Why would I do that? - Miyuki smirked slightly. - You might get into trouble like that. - Is that a threat? - A warning. Miyuki pushed herself away from the fence and approached Reo. She tucked her hair away from her face behind her ear. There were several scars on her cheeks and neck. - I like you. - She smiled amiably. - Let's be friends. - Wha...? — *what the hell is wrong with her?! She was just being rude to me, and now… she’s asking to be friends..?* - You’ll be my friend. - Why does it sound like I don’t have a choice..? - Do you even have one? - Of course! - “Of course” no. - … — Reo remained silent. Reo himself was curious to know more about this strange girl and why she was the only girl on the team…
