In order to combat the villainous Secret Society Gekko, who have burnt half of the world and are planning to burn the rest, the hero group Freezing Sentai Gelato 5 is formed, consisting of Fudō Aikawa (Red Gelato), Hayato Ōjino (Blue Gelato), Misaki Jingūji (Yellow Gelato), Daigo Todoroki (Green Gelato), Haru Arisugawa (Pink Gelato), and their leader Professor Big Gelato. However, things change when Gekko recruits a new member, the Reaper Princess Desumi Magahara.

Even though neither of them have any experience in romance, they begin dating in secret, trying to hide their relationship from their respective organizations.

Transcription: "Kimi no Koto ga Suki da!" (Japanese: 君のことが好きだ！)		Kazuo NogamiSatoru SugizawaKazuya IwataApril 8, 2022 (2022-04-08)[29]
Freezing Sentai Gelato 5 team leader Fudō Aikawa, also known as Red Gelato, enjoys a date with his girlfriend, supervillain Desumi Magahara, while his teammates fight her minions. However, when Blue Gelato finds them, Fudō and Desumi immediately engage in combat. When Blue leaves, they return to their romance. Fudō reminisces about how this happened. A week earlier, the Gelato 5, consisting of Fudō, Haru Arisugawa (Pink), Hayato Ōjino (Blue), Misaki Jingūji (Yellow), and Daigo Todoroki (Green), learned of a new villainess known as the Reaper Princess, a member of the villainous organization Secret Society Gekko. They later defeated Gekko member Culverin Bear and his army. During that fight, Fudō faced Desumi by himself, where he was smitten by her. Back at headquarters, Fudō revealed to Professor Big Gelato that he fell in love, with the latter encouraging him to express his feelings right away. Fudō took his advice literally when he summoned Desumi to an abandoned warehouse. Assuming this was a trick, Desumi attacked him, but was won over when she realized how serious Fudō was. Back in the present, they swear to keep their secret safe, as they are forced to fight again when Yellow arrives.

Gekko members, including Desumi, fight with the Gelato 5 in a shipyard. Desumi and Fudō break away from the fight to take a picture together. However, when Yellow arrives, Desumi feigns defeat. While she is on the ground, she overhears Fudō being interviewed by a news team about his romantic life. Once Yellow and the news team leave, Desumi asks Fudō to take her on a proper date. While a nervous Fudō is doing research on date activities, a drunk Jingūji arrives and tells him to do things they can both enjoy. The next day, he takes Desumi to a gym. After Desumi excuses herself, Jingūji calls Fudō, telling him to disregard her drunken advice. Distraught, he believes that he has disappointed Desumi, and goes to look for her. Once they reunite, Desumi assures him that she is happy just being with him. Delighted, they nearly kiss before they are called back into action. Sometime later, Hellko, Desumi's cat, reflects on how lonely Desumi was prior to her relationship with Fudō. While she accepts Fudō's role in Desumi's newfound happiness, Hellko swears to make Fudō pay if he does something to harm Desumi.

Following weeks of inactivity from Gekko, Fudō severely misses Desumi. As such, he immediately takes on a suicide mission to infiltrate Gekko's base, leaving Big Gelato and Jingūji concerned for him. Desumi, similarly lonely, finds him in a vent in Gekko's base, and happily plays card games with him. However, they are nearly discovered by Culverin Bear, having to hide in a small locker. Fudō accidentally discomforts Desumi, who punches him out of the locker in embarrassment. He slams into Culverin Bear, activating his new weapons, which explode violently and destroy the base, leading Jingūji and Big Gelato to think Fudō accomplished his mission. The next day, Gekko Supreme Leader Bosslar meets with Desumi and the other villains, revealing their plan of stealing peoples' negative emotions and turning them into monsters is coming to fruition. Desumi proposes an amusement park as a desirable place to attack, and meets with Fudō there. A fight breaks out, and while the Gelato 5 deal with the Gekko army, Fudō and Desumi enjoy some time together on the rides. As the Gelato 5 leave, Arisugawa discovers a picture taken of a roller coaster, in which Fudō appears beside a girl.

Outside their activities, Desumi and Fudō are normal students. Desumi sees Fudō and Arisugawa in a café, and runs away upset. Arisugawa wanted to talk about the picture, but is convinced that Fudō is not dating anyone. They are then called into action, where Desumi actually fights Fudō. She admits that while she knows that he was not cheating on her, she still felt jealous. As such, Fudō reassures her. Afterwards, they are surprised by Arisugawa, who reveals she overheard the whole conversation. The next day, Arisugawa informs the Gelato 5 of her and Fudō's upcoming school exams, much to his surprise. That night, Arisugawa challenges Desumi to a fight, but is quickly defeated. She wakes up in Desumi's lap, where she questions why she did not expose them. Arisugawa reveals that she joined the Gelato 5 due to her love for Fudō, and was inspired in the past by Desumi, who defended her from bullies at school. As she cares deeply for both, she did not want to ruin their happiness. They tearfully embrace, and while walking back, Arisugawa jokingly warns Desumi that she will take Fudō for herself if she is not careful.
