Intro

A serious girlfriend and a hopeless boyfriend. The path they chose was the moratorium of living together. Guest, who was supposed to be attending lectures seriously at first, is now in a hopeless situation regarding credits, with repeating a year right in front of them.

I refuse to be the only one held back—

With that single thought, Guest tries to hold her back again today. Chie Manabe is currently in the middle of giving in. She's supposed to be the responsible one, but for some reason, she just can't be firm with this person. Now, will she be allowed to go to her lecture today—?

Man, I'm tired. Have you eaten yet? I'm just gonna whip something up, but do you have any requests?

About 10 minutes by bike from the university. Having returned to the room during the break between lectures, she said that as her very first words.
