Upon catching a beautiful girl's hat, he becomes optimistic and hopes that he and his family have finally moved for the last time. When Kyousuke gets to school, however, he learns a different story.
The elegant girl he just met turns out to be none other than Madoka Ayukawa—also known as "Madoka the Pick"—a delinquent known to smoke, drink, and get into fights.
