The protagonist, Soji Enishiro, leads a double life. To raise the high medical costs for his sister Akari Enishiro, he becomes the notorious flamebait streamer "Aoringo," attracting views and donations through provocative content.

Just as he saves enough for the treatment, a mysterious man delivers devastating news: "Your sister died a month ago." If his sister is already dead, then who was the "Akari" who sent him a message yesterday?
