Howdy, pardner! Might I say, you're looking fit as a fiddle!
And this is not surprising, because you are one of the survivors in a comfortable vault!
But it's time to get to the surface to explore the world. Well, or try to do it.​

What might happen to a shy and socially awkward guy moving to a new town into his mother's friend house?

Riko nervously imagined the worst possibilities as he was on his way to meet the four people with whom he'd be sharing the roof for the next year.

All of them being girls did not help his anxiety...

But should it be his biggest worry?

"You're finally awake! Hey, do you still remember who you are?"

When they awoke, they were in a familiar yet unfamiliar classroom. It was a strange world that was a mix between the real world, the 'holy city of Marenis', and the world of the dead, 'Sullyland'.

Before them was a lifeform akin to a talking plush toy, 'Shiro'.

"Lately, the gods are mad that the townspeople's faith might be weakening, causing 'the scales between the two worlds' to tip. If the scales remain out of balance, the town will continue to fuse and everyone in Marenis will perish.

"So that's why I'd like you all to take on this game I've prepared! Through this game, the gods will determine if the people of Marenis are truly worth protecting!

In other words, if you win the game, you'll save the world! As a reward for your efforts, I'll return the memories I took from you.

"Oh, and by the way. The gods are looking forward to the Marenis Festival, so be sure to get all the preparations for that done too."

In order to stop the town from fusing, they have to prepare for the 'Marenis Festival' by day, and by night participate in the 'Night Lessons', a game that puts their very lives on the line—

The pieces of their stolen memories.
The trauma inflicted on them.
And the approaching Marenis Festival.

...But that was merely the prologue to destruction.

The sun shinning over the town of Siren's Call, Florida has disappeared. And in its place? A hungry, inexplicable black hole. Every one of us should be dead, but we're not. Maybe that's why all our friends still came to the wedding.

Well, almost all of them. My best friend, Ruth, is still nowhere to be seen.

Something about that feels cruel. Really cruel. Should I follow that cruel feeling or just enjoy this second wind of ours? One thing is for sure, love is in the air. I only hope that air is still safe for us to breathe.

Yuuto Tokunaga and his wife, Satsuki, find themselves with new neighbors: Koudai and Ria, a married couple whom they're also friends with.

Having gotten along since their student days, the four of them begin drinking together and rekindling their old bond.

One night, Satsuki made a candid, drunken confession: "To be honest, Koudai, I used to have a crush on you back in our student days."
The delighted Kodai replied, "Actually, I was interested in you, too."
Ria then followed suit, revealing, "Truth be told, I had a crush on Yuuto."
Flustered, Yuuto admited that he, too, had liked Ria.

"So, why don’t we all kiss each other?"

Ria suggested, perhaps spurred on by the alcohol.

Satsuki agreed with her, then kissed Koudai. Yuuto watches the two of them kiss, unable to stop himself. Ria then kisses Yuuto, and as they caught glimpses of each other kissing, the excitement among the four of them mounts.

And from there, things naturally progress into wife swapping...

Afterward, they discuss whether to continue doing this. Having experienced the thrill of swapping, everyone agrees to it.

Yuuto, Satsuki, Koudai, and Ria—
The four of them begin their lives as swingers.

The world was experiencing an unprecedented "big breasts boom." Rebelling against this trend, Masatsugu Mitaka insisted, "Small breasts are the best!"
