Kaburaya Sosuke, an impoverished detective, met Sarah, a princess from another world with magical powers. Sarah began living with Sosuke, and she quickly adapted to life in modern Japan. Meanwhile, Livia, a knight who came from the same world as Sarah, found herself lost and homeless, but surprisingly enjoyed her days here.
