Her father works as a public officer, her mother a housewife and her older brothers studies at a university. One day, literature magazine `Mokuren` receives a manuscript script for novel `Otogi no Niwa` by Hibiki. The novel is an entry for the literature magazine‘s Rookie of the Year Award, but the novel does not satisfy certain conditions for the award and is chucked into a garbage can.
