This is a story that unfolds on a winter day. Nadeshiko, a high school girl who moved from Shizuoka to Yamanashi, cycled to Lake Motosuko, but unfortunately, the weather was cloudy, obscuring Mount Fuji. Exhausted, Nadeshiko fell asleep right there.
When she woke up, it was nighttime. It was her first time in this place, and she didn't know how to get home. Nadeshiko, frightened by this unfamiliar situation, is helped by Rin, a girl who enjoys solo camping. The two of them light a campfire to warm their cold bodies.
The crackling and popping of the firewood broke the lakeside silence. Nadeshiko and Rin sat around the fire, slurping curry noodles and talking. Soon, the moment they had been waiting for arrived.
