L'histoire se déroule au Kokohana-tei, une auberge qui possède une source chaude. Le lieu a pour particularité de se situer entre notre monde et un autre. Nous suivons la vie quotidienne d'esprits de renards qui travaillent dans cette auberge en prenant une apparence féminine.

Satsuki gets a well-deserved day off, but she doesn't appreciate it as much as she should. As it turns out, there's a reason.

One of the guests, Aoi, seems to have developed a crush on Natsume. Ren isn't amused.

Konohanatei is visited by two strange beings: a mystery egg, to which Ren wakes up found fixed to her belly, and a fast-growing child, and an elderly lady who appears to be her grandmother.

A priest brings an odd Japanese doll to Konohanatei. Not only is the doll cursed, she seems to have an attitude.

The girls spend a night sharing horror stories. Just as the boss yells at them for being up past bedtime, they count an extra member in the group.

The bon festival is here, and the attendants take turns off work to check it out.

It’s a castaway! It's a mermaid! Actually, it's a troubled human girl, one of several people who have wandered into the inn’s presence recently.

The goddess of water bubbles pays a visit to Konohanatei. The reason for her stay doesn't become clear until it's a little too late.
