Riri is a transfer student with a unique fascination—she wants the school delinquent, Atsuko, to say adorable things! Despite her fearful reputation, Atsuko goes along with it, thinking Riri is just a harmless weirdo. However, she soon finds herself getting increasingly flustered every time she reads one of Riri's lists of cute words. And she's not the only one whose heart races after each interaction! Will this game bring them closer together and lead to an entirely new relationship?
