Synopsis[]
Aruru Otsuki was dreaming.
It was a dream that she saw many times since playing "Romeo and Juliet" at the joint training camp.
Romeo and Juliet fall in love and marry with Friar Laurence guidance, but eventually the dream always ends in tragedy.
Feeling troubled, Aruru heads to the library to read the original work.
There she comes across Maya, Mahiru, and Suzu.
When they hear Aruru's story, they suggest that Romeo and Juliet
might be asking her for help.
If Aruru could play Romeo and Juliet that doesn't end with tragedy, she might be able to save the two from the nightmare she saw.
Thus the 4 of them decide to perform "New Romeo and Juliet"... [3]
