Aira reluctantly attended a welcome party for her department's new students.

Frustrated with constantly getting surrounded by people, Aira was thinking of how to leave early when she happened to see another girl surrounded by boys as well.

With her soft cutely curled long hair combined with her pretty face, that girl looked just like a doll.

However, that girl did not weaponize her looks and ignored all the boys trying to get her attention. She looked just as fed up as Aira.

Aira felt a sense of kinship towards her and that girl seemed to notice Aira and felt the same.

Since then, Aira has been frequently talking to that beautiful girl... Seya Himari.

They are both first-year students with many mandatory courses, so they ended up attending many lectures together and gradually became friends.

Himari has a frank personality and doesn't bother flattering Aira, so being around her is very pleasant.

Like Aira, she has absolutely no interest in any of the people that make advances toward her, so when the two of them are together, most other students look at them from a distance and don't try to approach them.　

Although Himari is the only close friend Aira has made, she's enjoying her campus life quite a bit.

After a long lecture that lasted about 100 minutes, Aira sits across from Himari eating the curry rice from the school cafeteria.

"Himari, you said you have a lover, right?"
"Yes, someone I've been dating since high school. Though we're long-distance now."
"Where are they?"
"Osaka. That person's family runs a restaurant. They opened a new branch in Osaka, so that person moved there to help out."
"Do you miss them?"
"Of course, I'm dying to see them again."

Aira can sympathize because she has experienced how tough it is being apart from her beloved.
Himari has a cool personality and doesn't get easily impressed, but she has a major soft spot for her significant other.

Since both Aira and Himari are in relationships, they often gush over their lovers together.

"You said you two are living together, right? That sounds nice."
"Yup. Every day is bliss."
"I see... I envy you, Aira."

Even though they're in the middle of a meal, Aira is feeling drowsy and stifles a yawn.

Her life together with Ema seems to be going great.
Things certainly are proceeding smoothly, but there is one thing that bothers her.

Ema usually takes the initiative and prefers giving over receiving pleasure.

In addition to that, she loves seeing Aira getting embarrassed more than anything else.

Not only that, she has quite the libido and lately Ema has been seeking her company every other night.

Therein lies the crux of the problem.

They have been barely sleeping at night.

Ema can just sleep during the day so it's not an issue for her, but Aira has her classes to worry about.

First-year students have many mandatory classes. Also, Aira has filled her schedule trying to gain as many credits as possible, so she frequently has first-period lectures early in the morning.
