Morioka Moriko is a 30-year-old who chose the NEET path for herself after quitting her job. She decides she'll find more happiness online than in the real world and makes a hot male character in an MMO named Hayashi. In-game, she meets an adorable and kindhearted experienced player named Lily, as well as other friends. Now begins Moriko's fulfilling online life as a self-styled "elite NEET"!
Moriko is enjoying her online life to the fullest with Lily and all her friends. But Moriko ends up telling a lie about her personal situation outside of the game to them, and now she feels guilty. Meanwhile, in the real world, Moriko ends up bumping into a hot, blond-haired, green-eyed man.
Thanks to her guild members, Moriko is now free of her worries, and she's committed to enjoying her time online. But just as she logs in, she suddenly gets an expensive present from Lily. Fearing some sort of ulterior motive, Momoko begins to panic.
Morioka is so taken by the new loot boxes in Fruit de Mer that she decides to spend money and aim for the top prize with her guild, but the so-called greed sensor keeps getting in her way. On the other hand, in real life, a man suddenly starts talking to her at the convenience store.
Hayashi asks for some advice from Lily, and from what Hayashi says, Sakurai starts to wonder if Hayashi and Moriko are the same person. Meanwhile, Moriko undergoes a makeover to prepare herself for her night out with Koiwai. But when the day finally comes, Koiwai doesn't show up, even after Moriko spends so much time waiting. Just as she's about to give up and go home, who does she run into?
Moriko goes out to meet Koiwai, but he never shows up. Just as Moriko decides to give up and go home, she runs into Sakurai! Moriko finds out that she got the day of her day out with Koiwai wrong, and that Sakurai had been bothered by her turning down his previous invitation. What will she do now?
Sakurai, now sure that Moriko is indeed Hayashi, finds himself hesitating over playing online with Hayashi. Sakurai decides to continue playing as if not knowing who Hayashi is, but finds himself wavering when Hayashi talks so happily about Sakurai. At the same time, Koiwai decides to give the game a spin himself.
To play online with Koiwai, Moriko makes a temporary alt character named Molly. After seeing Molly, Sakurai remembers a player he met in another game named Yuki. He met Yuki when he was still a student, and she was a working adult.
While Moriko is surprised to hear the shocking truth from Sakurai, she's still looking forward to playing MMOs together with Lily. But ever since the day in which Moriko learned the truth, Lily hasn't logged in..
A single comment from Yashiro cuts far too deep for Moriko, and so Moriko flies out of the convenience store to get away. To get out from the rain, Sakurai invites her into his home. The pair of them try to convey how they feel about one another, while still assessing just how close they may already be. The two of them have made their relationship strong through the time they spent together online. But what kind of relationship does that really make?
