This fantasy romance visual novel follows Lilia, an ordinary bakery worker in Eroolia’s capital.
She spends her days with her childhood friend, Ronan, until her body suddenly shrinks and she develops cat ears and a tail. Lilia discovers that she is a luccretia, a half-human and half-cat creature, then flees through her window in panic. The first person she encounters is Ronan, who works as a city guard. Both characters conceal identities and roles from each other: Lilia presents herself as “Big Sis” and a luccretia girl, while Ronan presents himself as “Lil Bro” and a city guard.
