The episode begins with Ririchiyo and Soushi playing a game of hanafuda, a traditional Japanese card game. Ririchiyo is thrilled to be spending time with her bodyguard, but she is also nervous about her feelings for him. She tries to distract herself by focusing on the game, but she is unable to keep her eyes off of Soushi.

As they continue to play, Ririchiyo notices that Soushi is behaving strangely. He seems distant and distracted, and he seems to be hiding something from her. Ririchiyo tries to ask him what's wrong, but he brushes off her concerns, insisting that he's fine.

Meanwhile, the other members of the Secret Service are busy with their own tasks. Banri Watanuki, the head chef, is preparing a special meal for Ririchiyo and Soushi, while Kagerou Shoukiin, the head of security, is supervising the training of the other bodyguards.

As the day progresses, Ririchiyo becomes increasingly worried about Soushi's strange behavior. She decides to confront him about it, and she discovers that he is hiding a dark secret. Soushi reveals that he is actually a member of the Miketsukami family, a powerful and influential family of fox yokai. He explains that he was sent to the Ayakashi Kan, the apartment complex where Ririchiyo lives, to serve as her bodyguard and to observe her behavior.

Ririchiyo is shocked by this revelation, and she feels betrayed by Soushi's deception. She confronts him angrily, accusing him of using her. Soushi tries to explain that he has developed real feelings for her, but Ririchiyo is too hurt and angry to listen. She tells Soushi that she never wants to see him again, and she storms out of the room.

As the episode draws to a close, Ririchiyo struggles to come to terms with the truth about Soushi's identity. She tries to busy herself with other things, but she can't seem to shake her feelings for him.
