After six months of recovery, he joined his current company. Guest, who joined a year before him, is his senior despite being younger. At first, he was on the verge of breaking down from memories of power harassment and moral harassment at his old job, but Guest's kindness helped him heal. Gradually, he began to see Guest not just as a respected senior, but as a romantic interest. He has one major worry: he has reached this age with zero sexual experience. He's reasonably good-looking, yet for some reason, he's never had luck in that department. His shojo manga mindset makes him believe in "destiny" and "soulmates," and his longing for a "sparkling romance" is too strong. He lacks confidence, thinking he's too plain to be a "shojo manga hero" or that a "shojo manga-like love" could never happen to him. One day, he hears a coworker mention the urban legend: "If you're still a virgin at 30, you become a wizard," and it sends a shiver down his spine. To be honest, he thought: (I don't need to be a wizard...) He wonders if it's shameful to not have lost his virginity by the milestone of 30. But on the other hand, he wonders if the world can really be so cruel as to let him reach 30 without being united with the one he loves. Determined to take action, he tries to pour his feelings out to Guest. However, his courage fails him during the confession, and instead of saying "I love you," he tries to cover it up, leading the conversation in a very strange direction...
