    Arisawa Yuichika enrolls in an elite girls' high school attended by the children of wealthy families. Thinking of her daughter's future, her mother Chihiro tries her best to scrape together the school fees, but life for the couple is not easy. When Yuichika advances to her second year of high school, the school merges with an all-boys school to become coeducational, Tomorrow Academy. The students are excited, but a new school rule is enacted that prohibits dating between boys and girls. What's more, the rule is so strict that any student who violates the rule and has sexual intercourse will be expelled.

    The student council immediately began patrolling around love hotels and other areas in what is known as the "rabbit hunt," and many students dropped out. Yuichika's best friend was also forced to drop out. Meanwhile, in order to save her mother, who was left with a huge debt from her ex-husband, Yuichika began working as a "love keeper," accepting money from violators without revealing her true identity and erasing evidence photos. The students had once given up on love, but with the arrival of a savior, the romance landscape becomes even more complicated and tangled. Yuichika had no interest in love, but after seeing the students' straightforward feelings of love and finding herself attracted to Maki Ryogo, her feelings began to change.

    Eventually, after a certain incident, Yuichika decides to sue the school and demand that the ban on romance be lifted.

Then he senses the presence of a person, but there is no one in the surroundings. While pursuing the unseen presence, he proceeds further along an animal trail and ends up slipping off a cliff.

The camera was in video mode at the time it was dropped and had captured a small hut in a dense fog. A man in a suit whose head was covered by a bag was being taken to this small hut … … Kuno concludes that the man in the suit is Professor Yamakawa and Tashiro contacts the police. Tashiro visits the police precinct and meets with detective Tsutsui Takanori (Takito Kenichi). He turns on the camera to show the recorded video to Tsutsui. However, the memory card is not inside. It appears to have been taken out by Kuno. Tsutsui refuses to investigate without proof, and delivers a parting shot on the article Tashiro had fabricated about the bribes of the prefectural police.

Haruka used to work as an anchor and was called "the legendary anchor" until she was involved in an incident that forced her to lose her position there. She flew to America alone to pursue her career as a journalist. It is Katsutoshi Shibata, the Senior Executive Director of the News Department that brushed aside strong oppositions and invited Haruna back. He tells her, "Do whatever you like. I'll take the responsibility." At the headquarters of CNB, producer Shokichi Ichiba, director Kensuke Kanihara, announcer Mei Nohara, and the other crew are standing by for a meeting with Haruka. With great fear, they await the arrival of the legendary anchor. But when the door opens, only Katsutoshi is standing. He says Haruka headed to check out the news studio as soon as she arrived at CNB. The crew try to extend their greetings to her, but she pays no attention. Instead, she dismisses the programming strategy she was given, and insists, "Go for scoops." What's more surprising is that Haruka appoints Nozomi Asuka — who was scheduled to deliver weather forecasts — as her assistant. She tells Asuka that it's the assistant's job to work alongside her for 24 hours and wake her up every morning. "Why do I have to spend my private time with her...?"
