【Please Note】

This is not a Cinderella story. This is the WEB version.

To reiterate, this is the WEB version.

This version differs in tone from both the physical book and the comic adaptation.

It is impossible to transition to the physical book or comic adaptation midway, and vice versa. While this WEB version is positioned as the original, it is not inherently superior to other versions.

【Synopsis】

My name is Jin Araki.

I'm a second-year high school student in the city.

On my way home from shopping, I looked up at a high-rise apartment building with my sister, Mai, who had just started elementary school.

Mai described the 50-story building, which had just been completed last month, as,

"It looks like a castle!"

To me, it looked like nothing more than a cold, inorganic structure. ...And no, I'm definitely not just jealous.

To satisfy my sister, who longed for fairy tales,

I played along, saying, "Maybe a princess lives there."

And at the same time, I thought:

――A princess is someone completely unrelated to us.

But I was wrong.

Reality isn't a fairy tale.

Even princes can be villains, and monsters can be heroes.

That's why I could even meet Rei Shindo, the princess who lives on the top floor of that high-rise apartment building.

If you'd like to hear it, please listen.

This is a story about Rei and me, one that feels like a fairy tale, but is very much a true account of reality.
