Yu Ayase’s enrollment in the academy for exceptional students felt like a significant step, yet he remained stubbornly ordinary. Despite having a mother of extraordinary talent, he possessed no particular gift himself.

Charged with their care, Yu attempts to gain the sisters' favor—one meal at a time.

As Yu spent time with the three sisters, a shift occurred in their perception of him. He gradually moved from being regarded as a mere intrusion into someone worthy of consideration.

Yu enacted his scheme to ensure the sisters shared in the delights of the Cherry Blossom Night Festival.

Following the festival, a quiet intimacy deepened among the three sisters. The burgeoning closeness, however, was abruptly disrupted by the return of their father.

With her upcoming role demanding more of her than any before, Kazuki invites Yu out, seeking a shift in perspective to prepare.

With Niko’s guidance, Yu immersed himself in rigorous training, meticulously preparing for the impending duel against Hayato.

Having prevailed against Hayato, Niko turned to Yu and declared, "I will grant you any wish." Her words were a reward for his unwavering effort on her behalf.

As Miwa played her game of shogi, Yu arrived with the forgotten lunch she'd left behind. A warmth spread through her at the unexpected gesture, and she asked him to share her meal.

Kazuki and Niko attempted to offer Miwa comfort, but her distress flared into anger, and she fled the house. Yu went in search of her.

Miwa found herself confronting Sakura, who now carried herself with a newfound intensity and unwavering resolve.
