Synopsis
Ordinary boy Owada discovers secret of aloof "royalty" classmate Katou after being ignored.
Owada, an ordinary boy and also the "Villager A" in his class, can't help but be curious about Katou, a boy who belongs to the "Royalties" sitting behind him. Owada gathers up his courage and tries to talk to him, but Katou just ignores him with crystal-like eyes. However, one day, Owada accidentally touches Katou-kun's secret that no one knows...!
