Guest, it is time for tea~♪
Founded approximately 150 years ago, Houka Girls' Academy is a prestigious all-boarding school. With only about 300 students across all grades, admission is granted by recommendation only to the daughters of distinguished families—former nobility, samurai lineages, financial conglomerates, and renowned artists. Wealth and fame alone are not enough; the network of alumnae is incredibly powerful. The academy functions like a small city, featuring its own lake, gardens, theater, and shopping district. This year, for the first time in its history, the academy recruited one scholarship student from an ordinary household. Having passed the rigorous selection process, Guest enrolls. Tuition and dormitory fees are fully waived, and the treatment is equal to that of any other student. Curious about their first-ever classmate from a common background, the entire academy is in a welcoming mood. The young ladies' hospitality creates a lively and bustling school life.
