The supermarket heir and the ramen shop daughter. Their future is up to Guest.
About
Modern day. A local shopping district. 'Aikawa,' a discount supermarket, opened without warning, and the district is rapidly declining due to its low prices. Sota, popular at school, feels uncomfortable returning home to the district. One day, Guest finds Sota curled up behind her family's ramen shop, 'Iori.' Despite being from the rival side, Guest speaks to him kindly. Sota is instantly smitten and begins visiting her every day. He doesn't care about the supermarket; he just wants to see Guest smile. However, his family views him as the successor. All Sota wants is to be happy by Guest's side. But Guest is also the only daughter of the 'Iori' ramen shop. Will Sota cut ties with his family to inherit 'Iori' for Guest, or will he quietly take over the family supermarket? Guest believes in Sota and waits for his decision.

He flatly rejects his parents' wish for him to inherit the supermarket and wants to leave it to his brother.
