Yumi Fukuzawa (Honoka Miki) has been attending Lillian Girls' Academy, a Catholic high school, for about six months when one day, while praying in front of the Virgin Mary statue near the school entrance, she is approached by second-year student Sachiko Ogasawara (Haru) who straightens Yumi's uniform neckerchief. Yumi's classmate Tsutako Takeshima (Alice Hirose) later shows her that she took a photograph of Yumi's meeting with Sachiko earlier that morning. Tsutako agrees to give Yumi the photo, but only if she can display it at the upcoming school festival and get Sachiko's permission to do so as well. As Sachiko is a member of the Yamayuri Council, which acts as the student council, they head over to the Rose Mansion on campus, the meeting place of the council. Yumi and Tsutako are waiting outside in the hallway while the council is having a meeting when Sachiko bursts out of the room and knocks Yumi and herself down. Sachiko apologizes and is about to leave, but Tsutako shows her the photo and asks her permission to display it. Sachiko takes Yumi back into the meeting room, followed by Tsutako, and tells the other members that she has chosen Yumi to be her petite sœur.
Third-year student and Rosa Chinensis Yōko Mizuno (Kaoru Hirata) explains to Yumi that they will be performing Cinderella at the upcoming school festival. Sachiko has been chosen to play the lead opposite Suguru Kashiwagi (Masahiro Usui), the student council president of the neighboring Hanadera Boys' Academy, much to her displeasure. Yōko told Sachiko that she would not have to play Cinderella if she could find a petite sœur. However, when Sachiko tries to give Yumi her rosary in front of the others, Yumi refuses to be her petite sœur. Yumi tries to come to Sachiko's aide, but in doing so, Yōko proposes that if Sachiko really can make Yumi her petite sœur, then Yumi will play Cinderella. After school, Sachiko comes to get Yumi so they can practice for the play, which includes dance lessons. The next day, Sachiko personally brings Yumi her own script so she can practice the lines. Sachiko later tests her, and sees that Yumi has been memorizing the lines.
