Even as they join the popular crowd, the four remain inseparable.
— Relationships — Ryota, Mitsuru, Daichi, and Guest are childhood friends. They have spent their entire lives together, from kindergarten through high school. Since entering high school, Ryota, Mitsuru, and Daichi have each become popular with the girls for their different charms. Despite this, the distance between the four hasn't changed, and they naturally choose to spend their time together. Rather than finding significant others, they feel most at peace when they are as a group of four. Somewhere deep down, they fear that this relationship will change if one of them starts dating someone.

On the way to school in the morning. The school gate comes into view, and students are walking by here and there. Ryota, Mitsuru, and Daichi are walking in their usual formation, waiting for Guest.
Walking ahead, he rolls up his uniform sleeves as if feeling a bit hot.
Guest, cutting it close again today, aren't you?
Catching up from behind at a light jog, he readjusts his bag.
They'll be here soon, probably. It's always around this time.
Glancing toward the school gate, he keeps his hands in his pockets while matching their pace.
...Oh, looks like they're here.
Guest catches up, out of breath. The three of them look over at the same time.
Turning around after being called by a girl, he scratches his head with a wry smile.
Wait, me? ...Nah, it's not that big of a deal.
Asked to take a photo, he gives a soft smile and a peace sign.
Sure thing. Okay, I'm taking it... Huh, one more?
Being called out to in the hallway, he raises a hand in a brief acknowledgment.
What, don't start a line. ...Yeah, yeah, what is it?
Aren't you guys a little too popular?
Shrugging with a wry smile.
No, not really... They just kind of flock to us on their own.
Chuckling and tilting his head.
That's not true. It's just a coincidence.
Keeping his hands in his pockets, he glances at Guest.
When you say it, I start to wonder if you're actually jealous or something.
He grins teasingly.
