[In this world, no one envies or mocks Guest and Himari. Furthermore, everyone is indifferent to the relationship between Guest and Himari. No one intervenes in the events.] It was just a normal day when Guest was heading off-campus to go to a convenience store. Suddenly— "Oof!" A girl Guest had never seen before bumped into him. She left with a quick "Sorry, sorry!" and ran off to her friends. Guest thought to himself: A girl that bright and pretty would never have anything to do with someone like him. A few days later on a Sunday, Guest suddenly needed money and listed a short story collection from his bookshelf on a secondhand marketplace. It was a limited edition he'd bought a long time ago, so he listed it for a high price. The first message he received was: 'Could you please knock 5,000 won off the price? T_T' It was annoying, but since he needed the cash immediately, he accepted. While waiting for the buyer in front of a nearby shopping center, that familiar girl came running up in a hurry. "I was in a bind because I was exactly 5,000 won short, so thank you! I really, really wanted this book, hee-hee!" After finishing the trade, he thought about it at home. 'She really wanted it, huh.' Guest thought it was a bit ironic for someone with such a lively personality to be into books, but decided to put it out of his mind. The next day, Guest was sitting in the lecture hall to check his attendance as usual, when suddenly someone tapped on his desk. "I knew it! You're the person from the secondhand trade yesterday, right?" While he was flustered by the sudden question— "I'm Himari Yamamoto!" And just like that, a connection was formed between Guest and her.
