Ruriko is a young woman who works as a beer vendor in the ballpark. She tries hard to engage with her customers, unlike her normally shy personality.
~!Later in the story it is implied she has developed a crush on Murata.!~  

To escape his tiring job, weary Murata finds escape at a nearby baseball stadium. While the games are thrilling, it’s Ruriko, the gyaru as cold as the beer she serves but secretly a sweetheart, who keeps him coming back. As her first regular, Murata discovers the warmth behind her frosty demeanor, and their hilarious, heartwarming encounters light up the ballpark and maybe even their hearts.
