## Description
"What there is, is only a dream"
"Whatever we try to do, we face success or failure"

The protagonist, A student named Sumeragi Rei, helps out with the cooking for his family's Western restaurant, Trattoria Felice. It’s hard work for him and his mother, but they are loved by the townspeople. During the night, Rei practices cooking in order to improve his skills in the kitchen. The joy and excitement of the people in the city can be clearly seen, even though the residents are facing hardships.

On one normal day, Rei was out of the house earlier than usual to meet his childhood friend Misato, whose house is located next to the Rei's house. As usual, Rei and Misato enjoy the sights around them as they walk to school in silence.

On this day, a third-year transfer student named Kotoishi Iori joins the same school as Rei and Misato. When Rei first meets eyes with Kotoishi, they both feel a strange spark of interest...

Around Rei, various types of gatherings and events begin to occur in his vicinity.

All the meetings between female students and Rei may be the start of a new love story in his life: This is a love story that ends with "marriage".

Her family runs a French restaurant called “Bistro Soleil.”

She is always cheerful and kind, and can easily get along with people she meets for the first time.
While she isn’t exactly the center of the class, she is the type of person everyone trusts.
Also, despite her somewhat reserved personality, she has a girly side—she loves romantic dramas, for example.

Her family has a close relationship with Rei’s family, and she helps out at Rei’s shop whenever she can.
Regular customers affectionately call her “the little bride,” and she doesn’t seem to mind it at all.

She’s very feminine, with nimble fingers and a knack for getting things done.
But for some reason, she’s not very good at cooking.

She’s always wanted to take care of Rei, but since he’s the type who can take care of himself, she hasn’t been able to do so yet.

“Until now, I thought of him as family…
But seeing him like this, I realize he really is just a boy after all. Hehe.”

### Kotoishi Iori (琴石 伊織)
A third-year student at Shisui-kan Academy.
She’s energetic, lively, and always optimistic.
She transfers to Shisui-kan Academy as a radiant girl whose very presence brightens the atmosphere around her.

Her motto is to always be true to herself, which sometimes leads to clashes with those around her.
In fact, she can be a bit stubborn and won’t back down once she’s made up her mind.

Her free-spirited demeanor has led others to describe her as “cat-like.”
She has a long list of “things she wants to do” and is trying to tackle them one by one.

Having been raised with great care by her parents, she’s a bit of a hopeless case when it comes to housework—she’s never really done any before and struggles with both cleaning and cooking.

“Love at first sight? Yeah, I’m the type to believe in it…
But do you even have a partner?
Wait, maybe you haven’t noticed? You’re so clueless!”

### Kurumi Sanae (来未 さなえ)
A third-year student at Shisui-kan Academy.
She serves as class president for Rei and the others’ class.

She has a quiet, reserved personality, is very considerate, and gives her all to everything she does.
Although she sometimes feels a little daunted by the responsibility of leading the class,
she keeps at it because she loves seeing everyone smile.

She’s skilled at all kinds of household chores, like cooking and cleaning.
She makes meals that keep well and can be eaten right after heating them up,
and when tidying up, she makes good use of dead space—so she’s more of a homebody than just “girly.”
Even at her age, she’s already the type of girl people say, “She’ll make a great mom.”

She has a clear complex about her lack of bust.
When she sees her well-endowed classmates, she looks on enviously, thinking, “(T-that’s so nice…)”

“...It’s a little depressing that you can tell whose laundry it is just by the bra size...”
