==Plot==
Tsukiko performs her usual morning routine at 5AM of a cold winter day. Tsukiko relishes these early hours as her personal time of freedom. She prepares her favorite tea in a kitty-themed teapot, dressed in pink pajamas under a padded kimono, as well as oversized puffy trousers borrowed from her older sister. She poses in front of her reflection in the window, convincing herself of progress towards her ideal body.
Sitting down with her tea, Tsukiko boots up her tablet and opens up "Moonlit White Cat Pavilion," a fan fiction websites that Tsukiko maintains, dedicated to a series named Gamera. The site brings her immense joy, as she reads overwhelmingly positive comments praising her recent update. Amidst the glowing feedback, Tsukiko spots a critical comment from "Little Beans," a persistent user who often critiques her work. She is irritated by the comment, but tries to rationalize it by reminding herself that she doesn't write to please anyone in particular. Tsukiko prepares a breakfast containing grilled soybeans out of spite, before going to wake up her sister.
Lunchtime arrives. It's a particularly busy day, with students ravenously grabbing lunch after a demanding PE class. Azusa, fondly referred to as "A-chan," secures a seat for Tsukiko amidst the chaos. Azusa brings with her a new release from the Gamera series. Tsukiko notices Azusa's excitement and learns that the new volume, Happy Prince Gamera, features a time-leap storyline with Gamera using time-space plasma to rewrite history.
Their conversation turns to secondary works about the series. When Azusa asks Tsukiko if she has a favorite fanfic author, she brings up "Moonlit White Cat Pavilion." Azusa recognizes the site as popular but expresses mixed feelings about its content. She remarks that while the site initially had good stories, the later works felt "too convenient" and "unrealistic," particularly the ship between Youto and Seika (a cat character capable of human speech). Azusa suggests that Youto would pair better with Azuri Touett, a childhood friend who was separated from him.
Tsukiko strongly disagrees with Azusa's assessment, believing the bond between Youto and Seika transcends societal norms like race and age. While outwardly calm, Tsukiko mentally defends her favored pairing, dismissing Azuri as an inferior choice and imagining anyone who opposes her vision as deserving punishment. Tsukiko resolves to address Azusa's critique by adding "realism" to her next story, her sudden burning aura frightening the unaware Azusa.
Tsukiko finds Youto after school and invites him on a hangout. Likening herself to Seika, she asks Youto to engage in a lover's quarrel with her, seeking real-life inspiration. She requests that he ad-lib some romantic lines to woo her, but Youto responds earnestly, offering compliments about her eyes, likening them to an endless universe and calling them more captivating than a black hole. He continues to express poetic admiration, his heartfelt feelings proving more effective than anything made up on the spot. Caught off guard, Tsukiko's face turns beet red. In her embarrassment, she slowly moves against Youto. Just as they begin to feel each other's warmth, they are interrupted by a phone call from Tsukiko's sister, reminding Tsukiko to prepare dinner.
When she arrives home, instead of preparing dinner, Tsukiko sits down in front of her laptop. She uses the park encounter as material for a new chapter of her fanfiction, producing over 20 pages in no time. In the story, Youto's unreserved wooing leads to Seika offering her cat stomach him to rub. However, she hesitates when the climax ends with "Youto" receiving a phone call. Instead, she modifies the story so Youto's phone had previously been put on silent, allowing their intimacy to escalate to the next level.
The new story garners praise from fans as always. This time, even Little Beans expresses surprise. However, Tsukiko is not fully satisfied, determined to make Little Beans know thorough defeat in this internet war. Over the next two weeks, she continues to update her website daily, drawing inspiration from real-life interactions with Youto. However, she finds herself no longer caring to check the responses.
Meeting Azusa at school, Tsukiko once again probes for her opinion regarding her fan fictions. To her surprise, Azusa reveals that she actually hasn't checked the website for a few months, since she didn't like the direction of the story. However, she then adds that she's glad that the author is writing what they want and not being influenced by other people's opinions. With the time not lining up, Tsukiko realizes that "Little Beans" is probably just some random stranger after all. More importantly, she comes to understand why she hasn't been as concerned about the comments lately — she has been writing the story for her own sake.
Later, Youto finds Tsukiko, claiming to have something important to discuss. Tsukiko initially misinterprets his intent, imagining that he might be about to confess his feelings or even propose marriage. However, Youto begins by asking if Tsukiko has noticed "someone weird loitering around her" or if anything has been stolen. He explains that he's recently noticed peculiar coincidences involving a fanfiction site named Moonlit White Cat Pavilion, where the stories mirror their real-life interactions, including exact settings and dialogue. He cautions Tsukiko against the owner of the site, calling them a "pervert of perverts."
Mortified, Tsukiko is overwhelmed with embarrassment and eventually collapses, foaming at the mouth. Later that night, she is seen in a frenzy, frantically erasing every trace of herself from the Internet.
