Preview
A 183cm tall female college student, Kohiruimaki Karen (小比類巻 香蓮), has a complex about her tall figure and has a poor social disposition because of it. This was changed by the VRMMO game «Gun Gale Online» (GGO). In the game, Karen obtained a dream "chibi" avatar less than even 150cm in height, put on a full-body pink uniform and, as the player "LLENN", frolicked around the world of GGO. A beautiful player "Pitohui" appeared before LLENN. She was a rare female player in GGO and so the two hit off well――but one day, LLENN was asked to take part in a team battle royale formal tournament «Squad Jam» by Pitohui......

Prologue
On January 18, 2026; in one of the desert fields in Gun Gale Online, two female players were waiting for a monster to fall into their trap when one of them, a woman dressed in black named Pitohui, asked the other, a short girl dressed entirely in pink named LLENN, if she had heard about a tournament called Squad Jam. However, LLENN mistook the word "squad" for "squid" and began talking about food, initiating a conversation about various topics.

As their casual conversation continued, they suddenly heard an explosion and halted their idle chat. A giant earthworm fell into their trap, thus the two jumped out of the shade of a rock and prepared to attack the monster. While Pitohui provided supporting fire, LLENN charged towards it and soon opened fire on the monster with her P90. Pitohui noticed that the monster was about to use a tail attack and warned LLENN about it. However, LLENN continued charging, grabbed a new magazine, and jumped as the monster was about to hit her. She reloaded her weapon in midair and, just as she landed, fired at the earthworm in rapid fire, killing it.

After the battle, Pitohui asked what they were talking about while they were waiting for the ambush, and LLENN responded that they had been talking about squids and tournaments. Pitohui corrected her by saying that she meant squads and explained what the word meant. Pitohui then explained that a Squad Jam was a group battle royale tournament in Gun Gale Online.
