Seasons & Episode
Ren and Mihato arrive in the city and are unable to find work. They meet Miyu who is about to collapse from anemia and help get home to her family's mansion. From there Ren and Mihato (through some odd circumstances) acquire jobs as servants to the Kuonji family, but they must first pass a one week trial period.
The one week trial period commences and Ren is assigned to assist the other servants while learning his job on his own. On the last day of the trial, Ren breaks a memento of the previous master after chasing a ferret of Yume's school's board member's wife. Instead of punishment, Ren passes the trial because of his hard work and hired as Shinra's personal attendant.
Ren is currently settling in the Kuonji household and trying to get used to Shinra's antics and innuendo teasing both to him and her sister Miyu. However fed up being constantly teased by her sister Shinra, Miyu suggest a capture the flag competition in the Kuonji mansion, in which the winner can do whatever they want to the losers.
After Ren makes a mistake whilst making tea for Miyu. Shinra decides to have everyone relax at the beach. Shortly after arriving, Ren undergoes hard training to ensure he can make tea in the best way possible. At the same time Benis and Natose end up at the mercy of some loan sharks in a casino.
Ren and Benis are kidnapped by some thugs. During their captivity, Benis talks about her past and what she did before she met the Colonel.
Accompanied by her troop of loyal soldiers, heiress to the Kuki Conglomerate and friend of Yume, Ageha Kuki, arrives at the Kuonji household. Ageha frequently engages in vigorous martial arts training with her servant Kojūrō, but after he accidentally fell down a waterfall after a particularly active session her father decided to send Ageha to the Kuonji household to learn self-restraint. After having the mansion cleaned up and offering gifts to the Kuonji women, she begins to train with Ren. Ren throws himself in front of Ageha to save her from an assassin's dart, and even though this proves unnecessary as Ageha was able to grab the dart herself she rewards his loyalty with a kiss.
Kojūrō finally recovers and awaits Ageha to finish school and go home with him, she goes back to the Kuonji household as she is attracted to Ren. Kojūrō sees Ren and Ageha kissing and challenges Ren to a duel. The winner gets to keep Ageha.
While undertaking the task of being Miyu's personal attendant, Ren becomes concerned with Miyu's apparent lack of direction. Meanwhile, Yume is increasingly bothered by the lack of attention she is given, especially by Shinra.
Everyone decides to go out and have fun in the park. All of a sudden there is 3 burglars that are stealing a womans purse. The Kuonji household is in for a big surprise when Ren and Hato-nee's step-father drops by.
