Ayumi Mamiya is a witch cursed to lose her powers but there is one boy who can break the spell and save her. Haruo Yoshikawa thinks he is a normal boy but unknown to him his three sisters are witches who use their magical powers to keep him protected and ignorant about the existence of magic. Now Ayumi must wake up Haruo's latent powers to save herself but his sisters will have none of that.

Ayumi uses her magic create a portal to Haruo's dream to make him manly but nearly get trapped inside his dream.

It's revealed that the new character is a witch hunter. Later, she tries to attack Ayumi and reveals her name is Marin Nijihara. Haruo then shows up in the middle of fight but Ayumi takes him home while telling him to ignore Marin. At home, Ayumi tells his three sisters about Marin. Later, Marin shows up as a student at school and tries to attack Ayumi again but loses so she tries to find her weak point. Soon after that, she asks Haruo to know what Ayumi dislikes. At the same time, Yuri sees both of them but suspects that Marin confessed to Haruo. After that Marin asks the same question to everyone and discovers her weak point. Later she tries to attack her again but loses. Later while the two fight again Haruo shows up. Ayumi accidentally shoots the magic at him but it deflects back because of Maika's magic-deflection spell but Marin thinks Haruo is a simpleton.
