[Machine Translation] My college life was ordinary. Until I met Wataya Sensei. I was in the middle of a conversation with a senior student, who told me that he had never had a big love affair before, and that I just didn't know about it. It was from such a conversation that I confessed my feelings for him. However, he accepted her confession on the condition that she does not fall in love with him. And so the fleeting lover's game began. I, who had been so excited, soon found out that my senpai was "a lover I can't forget. I soon learn that Senpai has a "love that I can't forget. Wanting to know the reason for the sad expression he sometimes shows, I ask Maori Hino, my senior's best friend from high school, whom I met by chance.
