Zero: The Bravest Money Game

Kazuya Yamaguchi (Takahisa Masuda), who has a bitter past in high school where he kept losing to Rei Ukai (Shigeaki Kato) at everything, is now attracting attention as a genius engineer at an IT company. He is also selected as the leader of a new department, and his boss, Arisa Miyamoto (Shihori Kanjiya), who he cares for, congratulates him alone. However, one day, Shion Mukai (Dai Watanabe), who was headhunted from America, joins the company. In contrast to Kazuya, who does not recognize the abilities of his colleagues, Shion energizes the workplace by organizing an internal competition for everyone to become the leader. Kazuya, anxious not to lose, works hard all night to prepare for the competition, but gradually becomes stuck. "I came desperately. To win against him.'' Kazuya was cornered, and the memory of Zero came back to him...

Kotaro Shiroyama (Yuya Tegoshi) runs a company that rents out friends. He is respected by his friends Hosshi (Sarutoki Minagawa), Keisuke (Satoshi Matsushima), and Ai (Marika Matsumoto), and everything seems to be going well, but... One day, a complaint comes from a customer, Hajime (Kota Satsunai). When he posted a photo of himself with Kotaro and his friends on SNS, he received some ugly comments. "This guy really hated me." "I bullied him too." These were all directed at Kotaro. He had a past in high school where he was bullied and had no friends. When Hajime asks Hajime to apologize for embarrassing him, Kotaro punches him out in front of Hajime's friends. That was the moment when the trust of his friends was broken. "Even though I should have been able to control it well,'' what I had built finally started to fall apart. In order to take revenge on his friends who left him, Kotaro takes some action. His plan was to rent three of his friends as guests and take them to a game show.

Four years ago, Zero (Shigeaki Kato), a graduate student, came to see Mitsuru (Keiichiro Koyama), who runs a pension while aiming to become a photographer, for his annual summer stargazing. That summer, Mitsuru proposes to Megumi (Noriko Iriyama) with Zero as a witness. She took many pictures of her happy self on camera. Later, Mitsuru's photo from that time will win the grand prize in a competition. He is a genius who lives in the great outdoors, and there is also talk of releasing a photo book about him. Mitsuru declares to Zero that she sold her pension in order to work in Tokyo. However, Zero's feelings are complicated... On the day of his proposal, Mitsuru forgot his ring and went back to get it, but she left her camera with Zero. In fact, what won the award was a photo that Zero casually took of Megumi during that time. Mitsuru is shocked when the editor, Saeki (Kenta Satoi), who doubts his talent, points this out. Then he notices something strange in the photo...

One month has passed since Mitsuru and Zero reconciled at Dream Kingdom, where they fought a fierce battle. Mitsuru heads to a certain place that Zero told her about. It was the photo studio where Megumi currently works. Megumi noticed Mitsuru in a wheelchair checking on her from outside and started talking to her as if they were meeting for the first time. Zero's words come back to Mitsuru's confused mind. "She...her memory loss started four years ago." Mitsuru comes back the next day, is mistaken for a customer by Tohsaka from the photo studio, and blurts out that she wants to work there. Thus, the days of Mitsuru, a photographer who assumed a false name, and Megumi, who has lost her memory, begin again. Megumi opens her heart to Mitsuru, who always makes people smile when she points her camera at him. She says, "Maybe I should take a photo too." But when she speaks about what happened four years ago, those peaceful days come to an end.
