Fluttering Hearts Seek the Romantic | Chapter 1

—Several days before Valentine’s Day—

Akira: Heheh, looks like we have a full house.

Guess I should check over my outfit one last time while I have the chance ♪

Oscar: You’re in a particularly good mood. Are Valentine’s mixers that much fun?

Akira: Of course they are! The citizens who support us day in and day out come out to see us! What’s not to love? ♪

This is my chance to increase my fanbase. I’ll grab everyone’s attention!

I’ll take you down, Brad! I’ll get more chocolates than you, too!

Will: It’s good to aim big, but you do realize Brad-san is a pretty strong opponent, right?

Oscar: Will is right, Akira. I’d like to line up to see Brad-sama myself…

Akira: But you’re supposed to be on the receiving side!

Will: Akira, you’ll never make it to the end of the event if you get all wound up now. How about having some sweets?

Akira: Ugh… I can’t eat sweet stuff at a time like this.

Will: Huh? Why’s that?

Akira: Because we’re about to get a bunch of chocolate?

Will: Hehe, it sounds like everyone prepared all sorts of chocolate for us. I can’t wait to taste them!

Akira: You’re a different breed, Will…

Oscar: I refrained from taking my protein today as well. People wrote on social media that they would bring me supplements.

Akira: Man, fans are somethin’ else…

Will: You got messages like that too, didn’t you?

Akira: Yeah! I guess they’re preparin’ all sorts of different stuff for me.

That just means I gotta do my best for them in return! ♪

Brad: Sounds like you’re all having a nice chat. Are preparations complete?

Akira: All done! Here, look! We’re all set! ♪

Brad: Indeed. The citizens of the city have already gathered inside the stadium, too. We can prepare to head in at any time.

Oscar: Yessir.

Akira: Tch… You totally blew me off…

Anyway, who are people lined up to see right now?

Brad: According to the information from the staff, my line is apparently very crowded.

Akira: Dammit, of course it’s you…

But just you watch, Brad! Even if I lose the numbers game, I’ll get 5-star ratings from everyone!

Brad: That should be your goal. Making your fans happy is part of your duty as a Hero as well.

Jack: “Emergency! Emergency!”

Will: …! A message from Headquarters?!

Jack: “Substance has appeared inside the main stadium. Heroes, please make your way to the scene at once…”

Oscar: Inside the stadium…?

Brad: We need to recover it before any harm comes to the citizens. Let’s go, everyone.

Will: Roger!

Akira: Come on, for real?! This had to happen now?
