"Wow, it looks even more beautiful up close." With the cold wind blowing her hair across her face, the woman exclaimed while gazing down at the remarkable observatory deck of the renowned Tokyo Tower, found at the so-called, 'High-End Hills' or Roppongi Hills.

"Yes. But Roppongi is more lively and fun during nighttime than today when it's so hot." She didn't even bat an eye to the man who just spoke behind her. Instead, she took her phone out.

"Hey, Ran-kun. Will you please take me a photo?"

"Sure. Hand me your phone." The man gladly replied and took her phone. With the whole cityscape as her background, she didn't hesitate to pose in front of her phone while extending her hands up and pouted her lips. The sight made the man grin again. But just as the man clicked it, something popped out stating that her phone's internal memory is full.


"Oh, seems like your phone is full. I can use mine and send it to you later." The man suggested kindly.

"Oh, must be the chapters that I scanned the other day." 

"Well, I will gladly accept your offer since I really want a picture here in Tokyo Tower." She continued while putting her phone back inside her bag. Then, she did the same pose which the man took a picture of.


"Chapters?" He asks after taking photos.

"Ah, yes. It's the new chapters I did last time. I usually don't delete it in my phone before I see it online. Can I see the pictures you took?" She answered nonchalantly and stood beside the man to look at his phone.

"Wow, these look awesome, Ran-kun." Continued the grinning Sarina who is looking at the man's phone, with no knowledge that what she directly said made the man curious.


"Are you a manga writer, Sarina-chan?" He asks unhesitatingly with a surprised look, which took her attention this time.

"Yes. Just some small-time dreamer." What she said made the man gape before making a more surprised look.


"That's awesome." Yes, Ran is known for being a playboy. But at that point, his amazement is genuine. Never has he met a writer before. Hence, he decided to open his browser.

"I wanna see it. Quick. Tell me the title."

"Wha—No way. It's embarrassing." Replied the woman, who tried to reach for his phone. But he was quick to put it up. Like someone once did. But she had no time to linger on that.

It was then that she finally noticed that plenty of spiteful eyes were directed in their direction. Particularly, to her, making her conscious and stop.


"Fine. I'll search for your name myself." The man's words shocked her, much less when the man made an excited expression while typing...but it soon turned sour.

"Wait. It has nothing." He continued and showed her his screen.


Of course, he will see nothing because the person she is online is Sasa Green, and not Sarina Samidori. And so, she breathed a relieved one.

"Shall we get down now, Ran-kun?" Before waiting for a reply, she went ahead of the man who followed behind her. What she said though came as something he didn't like.



Truthfully, after they had their lunch earlier, the woman was supposed to leave. But Ran doesn't want to part ways with her. Since he had something in mind. So when she noticed Tokyo Tower, one of Roppongi's proud tourist attractions, he didn't hesitate to ask her to check it out.
