Shinozaki Takuma is in his first year of employment at his new job, and is encountering a lot of the same struggles most new workers run into. But the presence of a cute, doting senpai named Katase Shiori might make the job worth it, no matter how tough it gets.

After their manager's attempt to arrange a romantic dinner for the two of them, a rainy day leaves Shinozaki feeling under the weather, and Shiori decides to check in on him.

Shinozaki and Shiori reminisce over past experiences at work during lunch with Akina. On their way back to the office they happen upon a crane game with plushies that remind them of one another.
