Nukumizu Kazuhiko, a loner with a love for light novels, accidentally sees popular Yanami Anna being rejected by her childhood friend. This leads to unexpected interactions with other seemingly defeated girls like Yakishio Lemon from the track team and Komari Chika from the literature club.

Lemon and Yanami join the literature club. Pressured by the student council to demonstrate their club activities, Tamaki and Koto decide that everyone should write and submit web novels. The members head to the beach together for a weekend training camp.

Komari confesses to Tamaki and then runs away. Tensions between Tamaki and Koto also flare up. Koto packs her things and leaves the campground.
