Akari Sekoda is a diligent character designer who works tirelessly, while her project manager, Izumi Sudo, appears idle and unbothered. After questioning Sudo about his lack of effort, she is asked if her hard work truly brings her happiness. Inspired by the fable of the Ant and the Grasshopper, Akari expresses a desire to experience a more carefree lifestyle. In response, Sudo suggests she take steps toward that by becoming his girlfriend.
