Following a disappointing day, Rito retreats to his bathtub to sulk. His situation changes unexpectedly when a girl with a pointed tail appears in the tub with him. This encounter initially seems like a positive turn of events for Rito. However, his luck is short-lived as he discovers that the girl is a princess from the planet Deviluke. Through this sudden arrival, Rito finds himself accidentally engaged to the visitor.
