My love index is at its maximum.

The sound was getting closer.

Tazaki Tsukasa's mood grew increasingly cheerful; he was all too familiar with the crisp sound of those high heels clicking on the floor. The thought that this most popular and adored female teacher in the entire school was his girlfriend always gave him an irresistible sense of accomplishment that made him unconsciously curl his lips into a smile.

A moment later, Hoshino Hanami walked into the classroom carrying her lesson plan.

With a delicate and fair oval face, deep and sharp eyes, she exudes the unique sexy charm of a career woman.

Hello, teacher!

A series of loud, synchronized greetings rang out instantly, loud enough to be heard throughout the entire corridor.

Hello, students.

Hoshino Hanami nodded in satisfaction, a smile playing on her lips: "I've seen everyone's work assignments, and they were all done very well. In terms of overall grades, our class ranked second in the grade this time, second only to Class A. Here, I'd like to give special praise to one student."

As soon as she finished speaking, her gaze, which could be described as doting, was fixed on the figure by the window.

Murakami Mizuiro covered her face with her book, turned around and said sourly, "Please don't publicly display affection in class!"

The other students also looked towards the king's hometown. The handsome, intelligent, cool, and top-ranked boy, Tsukasa Tazaki, sat there with upright posture. The bright sunlight shone through the glass window, casting his short bangs on his forehead, outlining a beautiful and realistic portrait.

Faced with many enthusiastic gazes, he simply nodded calmly.

He had the air of a wise and detached person who was detached from worldly affairs.

"Four people, two weeks, one 25-minute promotional video. It garnered over 800 million views in just two days after being released on the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries' official YouTube channel..."

On the podium, Hoshino Hanami's expression and tone were exceptionally proud. "This morning, the school received a letter of thanks from the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, along with a prize of 100 million yen. This promotional video will be featured as a key advertisement for the next season's seafood promotion, receiving multi-platform promotion. Next, I'll play the video from Nico Nico Douga so you can see the online reviews..."

The multimedia projector hanging at the front of the classroom started working, and everyone immediately fell silent.

The promotional video opens with a scene of running under the setting sun.

The boy collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted, staring blankly at the sky. The last rays of the setting sun painted his fair and handsome face a miraculously crimson hue.

"Ah~"

One of the girls screamed, then shouted, "No matter which angle you look at him from, Tazaki-kun is so handsome!"

"I wish I had a boyfriend like that!"

Meanwhile, the comments scrolling across the screen were all unanimously praising the participants.

Is this some newly debuted artist?

[He's still a student; he's probably an ordinary person.]

[Oh no, her heart has stopped beating! Little brother, quickly give your sister CPR!]

【Grass, grass, grass】

I recognize this school uniform; it's from Kitagawa Academy.

【Beichuan? That's a top-tier private high school】

No wonder he has such an air about him, he's a young master from a wealthy family.

[I'll be waiting for people at the school gate tomorrow]

[+1]

The scene shifts to the male protagonist buying seafood alone at Tsukiji Market after school, before heading home to run a small restaurant.

The lighting was dim and the decor was old; there were hardly any customers all night.

[A word of utter misery is bestowed upon him]

According to the synopsis, the male lead's father had just passed away.

I sell fish at Tsukiji Market, and business is tough on seafood this year.

I've decided, I'm going to eat at this restaurant for the entire year!

[The restaurant in question is fictional and does not exist in reality, okay?]

Since that's the case, let's go patronize that fishmonger at Tsukiji Market.

I was so focused on the male lead's good looks that I almost forgot this was a seafood promotional video.

【wwwwwww】

That night, after closing the shop, the protagonist was alone, sorting through his father's belongings. Among them was a notebook with a photograph tucked inside. He stared at it in silence for a long time, finally deciding to go to the place where his father had spent his youth, to find the person in the photograph.

I bet the person in the photo is a romantic entanglement his father incurred when he was young.

[Seconded]

I was there too.

Are all men this disgusting?

All men in the world are idiots.

An old, double-decker tram slowly pulls into Omacho Station. The male protagonist, carrying his luggage, stands motionless on the platform for a long time. A dog crosses the screen and runs towards the exit.

After a long period of stunned silence, he picked up his luggage and wandered aimlessly through the dilapidated and remote seaside town. Rusty tram tracks, dull and lifeless shops, run-down farmhouses that made him want to yawn, and brightly colored tin billboards covered with outdated soap advertisements.

As dusk fell, he swung alone on the swing, while the clouds drifted with the breeze.

The boy's slightly pursed lips and haggard, bewildered expression left everyone watching on screen feeling astonished and filled with pity.

I want to cry...

[Where does even a dog want to go?]

A small town abandoned by the times, a boy abandoned by fate.

I want to hold the male lead in my arms and kiss him until he's moved.

Stop dreaming, let me do it.

The classroom was completely quiet.

Several girls glanced at Tsukasa Tazaki, their eyes slightly reddening.

Even Hoshino Hanami, standing on the podium, couldn't help but look at him with a motherly, tender gaze. If it weren't for class, she would have hugged Tazaki Tsukasa tightly and kissed him until he was moved.

As for the person involved, Tsukasa Tazaki rested his chin on his hand, vaguely feeling that something seemed off about the script...

On the screen, the male protagonist suddenly looks towards the sea.

The camera then pans to reveal a lighthouse in the far corner of the screen.

Here it comes, a turning point is coming!

Is the tuna girl about to appear?

[Long-awaited...]

I searched aimlessly for many days, but still found nothing.

As dusk falls, the protagonist sits alone under the lighthouse, the seawater still washing over his feet.

The scene is clean and beautiful, filled with a hazy sense of melancholy.

On his way back to the hotel along the seawall, he passed a fish farm by the sea, where a lot of noise was coming from. He followed the sound and saw many people catching fish in the pool.

"Gotcha!"

The camera angle moves accordingly.

A girl who looks exactly like the one in the photo is holding a tuna that is half her size tightly in her arms, its tail fin struggling and twisting, splashing water everywhere.

A cute girl has appeared.

I'm in love.

[Super Energetic!]

Where can I find such a cute girl?

[Damn fish, get out of my way! Don't block my view of the pretty girl!!!]

[Only in places like those depicted in promotional videos, untouched by capitalism, could you find such adorable girls.]

I'm going to Omacho tomorrow to bump into my super energetic tuna girl!

The next day, the male protagonist began to get closer to the tuna girl.

During our conversation, I gradually learned that she was a first-year high school student whose family owned a tuna farm. However, due to the poor sales of seafood this year, the tuna farming business suffered heavy losses, forcing them to close the farm and return to the traditional one-person-one-line fishing method in Oma Town.

She also shared her impressions of Tokyo with the male lead, including the yakuza-infested Ichiban-gai in Ikebukuro, stylish and cute high school girls, 24-hour convenience stores, excessively cold air conditioners in the summer, and the Yoyogi Radio Tower, which is always present in Makoto Shinkai's films...

After spending many days together, she expressed her wish to save enough money to go to university in Tokyo after graduating from high school.

Her clear, bright eyes and energetic smile were all in vain in the male protagonist's eyes. Her longing for life in Tokyo had long since turned into a naive dream due to the huge losses of the farm.

As time passes, the day the male protagonist is to return to Tokyo draws ever closer. The tuna girl invites him aboard her fishing boat to experience tuna fishing together.

The male protagonist said, "Trying to catch tuna this season is futile."

The tuna girl replied to him: "Never lose your love for life."

The barrage of comments during the fight with the tuna was incredibly intense.

[Getting fired up!]

Isn't this way more exciting than Boruto?

[Wow, he's still just a high school student, how did he do that?]

[The season when tuna fishing is impossible, and the boy who can't beat the tuna]

It's simply a miracle!

As the tuna girl once said, never lose your love for life.

I'll drink this bowl of chicken soup to the bone!

【Grass】

[I feel so energized after just getting home from working overtime.]

A new day dawned as usual, and the male protagonist got up early and looked up at the shimmering sea from the hotel window.

A clean, freshly ironed white shirt, neatly arranged flat shoes, a cool Coke can, condensation from the air conditioner vent... his daily life in Tokyo is shown on the screen in flashbacks.

It's time to move on.
