One day, I, Himeki Kani, was dumbfounded by the news displayed on my smartphone.
The popular idol group 'Falling♡Angel' had disbanded. The reason given was that a member had a lover.
"Hey, you're surprised, aren't you?"
That news was being shown to me by a girl with a mischievous smile, Futaba Tsuyuzaki.
Her reason for showing me this news was simple.
Futaba Tsuyuzaki is the center of 'Falling♡Angel'.
And, she is my girlfriend.

This segment of the light novel, covering chapters 3 through 12, introduces the protagonist, Kani Himeki, a high school student, and his girlfriend, Yuzaki Futaba. Futaba is the center of the immensely popular idol group "Fallen Angel." The narrative begins with Himeki reacting with shock to a news report announcing the group's sudden disbandment, with Futaba citing her romantic relationship as the reason for her departure.
Himeki is deeply concerned about the repercussions of this public announcement. He understands the strict no-dating policy for idols and the potential backlash from fans, which could lead to stalking and harassment, impacting both Futaba and himself. Futaba, however, expresses a strong desire to openly date Himeki and experience a normal high school romance, something she's been deprived of since her idol debut in junior high. She admits to being tired of hiding their relationship and wants to flaunt their affection publicly.
Futaba's motivation for this drastic action is her overwhelming desire to be with Himeki without secrecy. She claims she no longer cares about the group, her fellow members, or the fans, believing they are only interested in her persona as "Daitenshi-chan." Himeki, privy to Futaba's daily complaints, understands her feelings but points out that others will find her reasoning difficult to accept. Futaba, unconcerned with external validation, declares her decision is a calculated risk for their "youth" together.
Himeki also questions Futaba's lack of regret regarding the disbandment, given the group's significant success. Futaba dismisses this, asserting that she was instrumental in making "Fallen Angel" famous and therefore has the right to end it. She views it as a personal accomplishment that she can also dismantle. Himeki, having witnessed Futaba's dedication since they met two years prior, acknowledges her hard work and the significant role she played in the group's rise to fame. The chapter arc concludes with Futaba's decisive, albeit controversial, action to prioritize her personal life and relationship with Himeki over her idol career, setting the stage for the challenges and consequences of her public declaration.
