With this, his normal days ends, he can't go back home to his younger sister, Yuzuha, anymore. After wandering around aimlessly, he eventually meets a gorgeous, yet an arrogant girl with shady connections offering him temporary protection, at the cost of doing various dirty jobs she requires.

A few days later, he saves a girl who is attacked by cutthroats.

She promises him that she'll look into the mystery behind what happened that day to prove his innocence.
