Golden week has started and Jiro is looking forward to it, Subaru though comes to visit him, saying that she got thrown out of Suzutsuki's family house but won't go into detail on how. Jiro lets her stay and borrow some of his sister's clothes while Kureha is away at camp. In return for letting her stay, Subaru offers to be Jiro's butler doing cleaning chores. When it comes time to washing his back however Jiro is hesitant, things get worse when Kureha comes home from camp early and sees her clothes folded near the bathroom door. Kureha bursts in but upon seeing Subaru in there who she thinks is a guy she faints. Waking up on the couch and thinking it as a dream she asks what Subaru is doing at their house, before Jiro can answer however Suzutsuki appears saying that he let them both stay over. Suzutsuki says that she ran away from home and challenges Subaru to replace her as Jiro's Maid. The two girls have a series of contests to see who is more qualified to be the Sakamachi family servant, Jiro and his sister are the judges. The contests are withdrawn however when Jiro collapses with a fever due to a cold and lack of sleep. Concerned that Jiro is going to die Subaru still acting as his butler almost "kills him with kindness" in order to get Jiro better. At a good time Jiro sneaks away from home and asks Suzutsuki for help. Suzutsuki agrees to help him but only if it means Subaru coming back with her, she then tells Jiro that the reason why Subaru was thrown out was due to a feud between Subaru and her father. Suzutsuki's father had enough of it and threw both Subaru and her father out until they could resolve things. Jiro goes to confront Subaru's father but is met with hostility, Subaru comes to save Jiro but as she does Jiro sees his sister about to be hit by a truck. Jiro saves Kureha but ends up being hit him-self. Not badly hurt Jiro gets up and assures Subaru that she can go back with Suzutsuki and that it would take more than a truck or a cold to kill him. Subaru agrees to go back, and after waking up in the hospital Jiro is rewarded with a kiss from Suzutsuki, who tells him that it was her first kiss. Later a new character, Usami Masamune is introduced, she says she is a part of one of Subaru's school fan clubs the S4 and blackmails Jiro to date her much to Subaru's dismay and anger as Jiro had promised to goto their school's cultural festival with her and chooses Masamune to go with instead.

The sports festival begins with a challenge from Nakuru's older sister Narumi Schrodinger towards Jiro and Subaru (Who came to his defense). Narumi has misunderstood what happened during the picnic lunch between her sister and Jiro and is angry. During the start of the sports festival Jiro and Subaru win the first round. To Jiro's surprise Narumi invites him to lunch and tells him she is really doing all of this so she can see how Nakuru reacts when she beats Jiro as she tells him Nakuru has a crush on him. The final special event comes that involves knocking the opponent into the water to win, Subaru withdraws due to having to wear boy's swimwear and Jiro beats his sister by way of tickling. Nakuru asks Jiro to trade places with her to fight her sister which is what Narumi wanted in order for her sister to get stronger as a person and Nakuru ends up losing as a result of saving her sister from going in. After the match Nakuru confesses her love to Jiro to which he rejects so Nakuru decides to become his mistress instead to Jiro and Subaru's "BL relationship". Jiro's house also gets hit by lighting and burns causing Suzutsuki to take him and his sister in but as servants. Suzutsuki introduces Jiro to her other maid Saotome Ichigo who right away dislikes Jiro saying that she loves her mistress and asks what he did to her as she has noticed a change. Saotome tries to get the answer out of Jiro but is interrupted by Subaru so she asks Jiro to go clean the bathroom where he finds Suzutsuki taking a shower. Jiro is blindfolded by her and asked to wash her back which he does, Suzutsuki then says she is going to torment Jiro more, advancing on him saying she wants Jiro to hate her and that it is his fault, he eventually faints from the ordeal. Later on Suzutsuki takes on Masamune as a maid and Subaru lets Jiro eat in her room as Saotome who cooks has not let him eat much of anything. Subaru offers to help cure Jiro and holds him wearing a swimsuit, just then Kureha comes to check on her causing Subaru to rush to take her clothes off to change but cant fast enough so she hides in the closet naked with Jiro. In the closet Subaru has to sneeze to not alert his sister Jiro kisses Subaru causing him to pass out the resulting noise frightens his sister who runs out of the room thinking it is a ghost, leaving Subaru blushing. At the same time Saotome asks Suzutsuki why she has been acting so strange, before she can answer her she faints causing her to goto the hospital where Kureha tells Jiro that she thinks that Suzutsuki has a crush on him. The next day Suzutsuki is discharged from the hospital but has the mindset of an 8 year old and clingy towards Jiro. It is later found out by Subaru and Jiro via a DVD that Suzutsuki used self-hypnosis to do this to herself in order to trick Masamune but that her experiment had failed as she did not revert to her normal self, in order to do this she says on the DVD that she must be satisfied by playing with her child self. Subaru and Jiro both agree with each other to help but Jiro cant stop thinking of how he kissed Subaru in the closet, the volume ends with Suzutsuki finding tickets to an amusement park and wanting to go.
