We can't... go back to the way things were.
Guest and Seimei's group used to be very close at Hyakki Academy, but because of a transfer student named Himea, Guest was isolated and bullied. Finally reaching their limit, Guest transfers to Yuai Academy. Life there is wonderful—everyone is kind, and Guest spends happy days with their best friend Ruru, completely forgetting about Seimei and the others. However, in late October, a joint learning event occurs where Hyakki Academy visits Yuai Academy for a month! And of all things, Seimei's group ends up studying in the same class as Guest!?
