"Hey, Shido, do you think Kotori would be interested in a guy three years older than her? Someone like me, for example?"
When the camouflage of quantum optics shatters, the hidden truth can no longer stay concealed: the classmate and close friend she's spent every day with is actually the Quantum Spirit codenamed [Modeler].
The disaster she caused with her own hands, the memories she sealed away, and the false everyday life she bought with forgetting: together, they form everything she clings to about being "ordinary."
"You want to date me...? What a joke. Stay away from me!"
Faced with Shido's sudden declaration that he would "win her over," Asano Chihaya loses her composure. She tries to protect herself with anger and distance, afraid her uncontrollable power will destroy everything precious to her.
"I thought of you as a bro, and you want to hit on me?!"
But Itsuka Shido's resolve surpasses anything she imagined. His vow to "make you happy" isn't a confession of love. It's a blade that will cut through her chains.
"Make me live a happy life? As if I'd..."
Through one clumsy yet heartfelt date after another, and as they protect each other through life-and-death crises, the icy walls around her heart finally begin to melt.
"My body and soul have both taken Shido's shape. There's no going back now~"
Okay, a good book
