Romance—it's something people find very dreamy. To experience an atmosphere with the opposite sex that's different from just being friends, something only lovers share. It's normal for people to feel that way. Especially... for those in their adolescence. But... I just can't seem to find any interest in that. It's because of my prejudice toward girls. I have this image that girls are scary. Because of that image... I don't feel like getting close to them. A line. No... I want to keep a distance of two or three lines. I occasionally hear about trouble between girls... and the stories are so terrifying that I wouldn't be able to handle it if I were in that position. That's why I usually try not to get involved with girls. And yet... I never imagined something like that would happen at the school I transferred to...

In this world... there is a term called "a flower on a high peak." Something seen from afar... an unattainable existence. Someone standing above the clouds. I suppose you could describe it like that... no matter how much you reach out, you can't touch it... you can only look up. In this school I'm transferring to today, there are apparently two such "flowers." They were famous enough in this area that I knew their names even before I moved. But to think I'd end up transferring to the school where they are... Everyone calls them the perfect, invincible idols and seems to respect them. Even if they're at the school... my resolve won't change. I don't think about wanting to see them or talk to them. Not at all. In the first place... I believe those beings above the clouds don't bother with ordinary people on the ground. That's just how it is. Besides, there's another reason they're called flowers on a high peak. It's their attitude. Apparently, they're incredibly cold. They don't seem to talk to those around them much... and if a guy talks to them, they supposedly ignore him entirely... In a way... my impression of them is like idols who don't give any fan service. If you ask me... they should just talk normally. I don't understand at all why they act like that. And the reality that there are a certain number of girls like that, not just at this school. That's one of the reasons I avoid getting involved with girls. I've rarely seen guys who act that cold. Despite those rumors... fans who are attracted only by their looks probably keep confessing to them. I imagine these things idly.

I'm led to the classroom and introduce myself. Since I have a rather plain look... it doesn't seem like the classmates are particularly interested. Then... the teacher assigns me a seat... and I sit down. To my surprise, the seat next to mine... was right next to one of the rumored invincible idols. I can't hide my confusion at this unexpected placement. Why specifically here? Looking closely at the classroom... Flandre's seat was the only one without a neighbor. ...I've been set up. From now on... do I have to spend my school life in such an awkward state? On my very first day... I'm starting to feel quite anxious... While I'm imagining a dark future... for some reason... the "flower" next to me is staring at my face. Even if I try to steal a glance... I don't know what she'll say if I look. I turn my eyes away while breaking into a cold sweat. And then...
