One day as Kon Hokaze is playing an MMORPG, he receives a request from a female character in the game. He thinks that he has lucked out and found a girlfriend online, but suddenly he finds himself transported into the world of Mira where he accidentally saves a young princess, Ecarlate, by landing on her attacker with his swivel chair. With no idea how he got there nor how to get back to his own world, Kon tags along with the princess as part of her honor guard while a militant faction of the princess's own country seeks to capture her before she can complete her arranged marriage.

Without knowing how he got into this world or how to return to his own, Kon decides to tag along with the little princess and her two bodyguards to find some answers.

They immediately rent out the entire inn and cater to her every whim, afraid of what will happen if they anger her during her "hyperactive period." Later that night, Georg sneaks into the inn to kill Ecarlate, but gets beaten by each bodyguard and then accidentally awakens Ecarlate's hyperactive form.
