Plot

The series follows Kouta Ochiai, a 13-year-old boy who encounters a 17-year-old mysterious girl named Natsuki Hagiwara on his way home from school. She asks him if he is willing to share his ice cream and calls him a pervert after noticing and wondering what Kouta was thinking when she was eating. Shocked about the accusation, he runs away, dropping his student handbook by accident. Arriving at home, he finds out that his father was transferred because of his work, leaving him alone. Natsuki meets Kouta again to give back his handbook, and learns about his situation. Natsuki then decides to repay the favor for the ice cream by taking care of Kouta while his father is gone.
