The series is centered around an unnamed deliveryman and an unnamed woman with social anxiety. The deliveryman tends to have a hard time having to deliver food to the woman due to her tall, intimidating figure, but finds solace due to watching streams of Hanae Fuwari, his favorite VTuber. One day, when he arrives at the same woman's apartment, he hears her voice and wonders if it could be the person behind his favorite VTuber. The woman later reaches out to the deliveryman asking him to help her overcome her social anxiety.
