This is a story about Momo, a high school girl who comes from a family of spirit mediums, and her classmate Okarun, an occult fanatic. After Momo rescues Okarun from being bullied, they begin talking. However, an argument ensues between them since Momo believes in ghosts but denies aliens exist, and Okarun believes in aliens but denies ghosts exist.

In order to demonstrate their beliefs to one another, Momo visits an abandoned hospital where there have been reports of a UFO sighting, while Okarun explores a tunnel that is said to be haunted. Despite their initial shock at discovering intense paranormal occurrences that surpass understanding, both individuals discover new abilities within themselves. As they navigate these challenges together, their romantic relationship blossoms.

The story of the occult battle and adolescence starts!
