Story Synopsis

One day, Yachi Haruaki received a mysterious object sent by his father from abroad—an unbelievably heavy black cube. Haruaki smelled trouble, but left the cube alone for now, trying to convince himself that it was none of his business. That night, he woke up to a noise. Peering into the kitchen, he found a completely naked girl—eating rice crackers she had scavenged from a cupboard.
