However, Taira's almost faith-like "偏愛" (partial love or obsession) remains unchanged, with a new style of declaration that pulls back when needed and becomes assertive when necessary, causing constant worries for the beautiful and proud King Kiyoi.
Meanwhile, Taira, to avoid being caught by Kiyoi, finds a new hobby—disguising himself and secretly following Kiyoi's "o-kake" (fan activities).He quietly observes, not wanting to bother Kiyoi, but eventually, he makes friends who share his support activities…?
As graduation approaches and classmates focus on job hunting, Taira, who has no part-time work experience, faces a dilemma…When student life ends and they step into society, what paths will Taira and Kiyoi choose?
