Soon he learns that the pretty boy, Ashikawa, is a transfer student of his class, and from him, that the building has a door that leads to another world where one can fulfill one wish. Shortly after, Wataru faces the risk of a broken family and, to save what is left of his family, he decides to go through the door to where tests await him.
