"Ever since I came into contact with you, I haven’t been able to control my heart."
Banteon, a teacher affiliated with the Royal Esper Center, leads a double life—hiding his identity while enjoying secretive nights out. One such night, he ends up guiding Delroz, an SS-class Esper collapsed on the roadside.
The next day, Delroz begins searching for the person who guided him that night. Not wanting to be entangled with him, Banteon tries his best to avoid any involvement. But Banteon’s efforts prove futile, as fate keeps bringing them face to face...
An Esper desperate to find his Guide, and a Guide desperate to escape—what future awaits the two?
[Preview]
For some unknown reason, Delroz was absolutely convinced that the Guide who saved him was a woman. So convinced, in fact, that he couldn’t even doubt it when the person stood right in front of him.
Realizing that he hadn’t been discovered yet, Banteon folded his arms and looked at Delroz. Speaking in a composed tone, as if he were a third party:
"I hope you find your rumored Guide soon, but I don’t believe that has anything to do with me. Now, please return my belongings."
"Hmm…"
At Banteon’s firm statement, Delroz simply fell silent, lost in thought, showing no sign of moving. As time dragged on without a reaction, the first to grow weary was Banteon, who pushed again.
"I heard she was a woman with long hair."
"That's right."
A clean, unwavering affirmation. At this point, even Banteon was curious as to why Delroz was so certain the Guide was a woman. He knew the misunderstanding worked perfectly in his favor, yet he still asked:
"I heard you were in critical condition. Surprising that you remember it so clearly?"
"She was beautiful."
"…What?"
Banteon reflexively asked again, unable to believe his ears.
"The most beautiful person I’ve ever seen in my life. There's no damn way a guy would ever look good in my eyes."
