A spin-off from "Little Busters! Ecstasy," the official page was launched on December 28, 2009, and details were announced in a feature in "visualstyle Vol.13." The story takes place slightly ahead in the summer vacation from the main series. Riki Naoe and Kudryavka Noumi have become a couple. One day, due to a water accident during the renovation of the boys' dormitory, Riki's room becomes unusable. Kud then offers, "Roommate-san, I'm still recruiting..." Thus, the two begin cohabitating for the summer vacation without being noticed by the other dorm residents.

The English Translation of "one's future" from "Kud Wafter"
We intertwined our hands tightly and gave each other a little kiss on the cheek.
On my back, there were young wings, aiming for that blue and high sky. Chasing after the footprints that crossed over the white clouds, we ran through the summer breeze. It's like a gear with a familiar strength, speaking of dreams without hesitation.
We intertwined our hands tightly again and gave each other a little kiss on the cheek. Hoping to become a little stronger than yesterday, the stars surely twinkled, illuminating the path. The detours we take together surely have meaning.
In my eyes, countless shining stars. Once closed, the small door untangles the chains of innocent memories. Aspiration transforms into guideposts, supporting dreams that should have once been shattered. You're smiling next to me now.
Gazing into each other's eyes, we snuggle closer. We become even closer, our bound bonds surely grasping tomorrow. So, we gently took each other's hands and walked the path together for a long time. The number of footprints indicated our future together.
We clasped our hands tightly again and gave each other a little kiss on the cheek. Hoping to become a little stronger than yesterday, the stars surely twinkled, illuminating the path. The detours we take together surely have meaning.
Gazing into each other's eyes, we snuggle closer. We become even closer, our bound bonds surely grasping tomorrow.
So, we gently took each other's hands and walked the path together for a long time. The proof that we flew a little higher than yesterday, the number of footprints indicated our future together.
