His mundane existence takes a dramatic turn when he is unexpectedly caught in the middle of a violent bank heist. It is during this chaotic incident that he crosses paths with Mikuru Nazume, a girl who holds a surprising dual identity within his world. To the rest of the student body, Mikuru is the revered idol of their high school. However, beneath her popular exterior lies a highly trained operative for Minkei, a covert paramilitary division operating under the jurisdiction of the National Police Agency.
