Tomomi Aonuma strives to enter Shirayuki Girls Academy but feels ashamed of her father, who drives a bus and collects antique watches. She wishes her daily train acquaintance, Fujita, would serve as her father to impress the school board. Following Fujita to an antique watch exhibition, Tomomi is shocked to see her father greet him as an old friend. Through Fujita, she gains a deeper understanding of her father's passion for horology. Her perspective shifts when her father confronts the school principal for ending an exam five minutes early, citing the precise time on his high-quality antique watch. This incident leads Tomomi to develop a newfound respect for her father's dedication to accuracy and integrity.
