## Summary

Sasae's father remarries to a younger woman and her sisters also come living with them. But four months later, his father dies from an illness and they end up transferred to a different world.

As they look around, they see a girl with animal ears and seeing them, she comments she managed to summon a strong familia. A monster appears and injuries the girl and Manako defeats it. The girl tells them to run away, as she already had to pay a high price for summoning them. In that moment, more monsters appear and Manako attempts to fight them, but is overwhelmed. The girl then sacrifices herself to the monsters, giving the family a chance to escape. As they run, she asks them to save the world and then blows herself up, killing as many monsters as she can. They run towards the direction the girl told them and multiple squads show up and engage the monsters until the family hides within the walls of a castle.

Inside, they meet Sugar Manish, the lord of the Puranha Stronghold and leader of the Swordsman Squad. She wonders about her sister Solsu Manish, the one that summons them, but learns that she had died. Sugar asks them to save this world, but Kanae seeing how dangerous the situation is refuses and asks they to return them to their world. Sugar refuses and explains they can't since Solsu is dead. Sasae asks for more information and Sugar explains the monsters are undead army called Dead Mell and a familia is a group of four people each with individual skills. A "swordsman" that kills the monsters with a silver sword, a "shield guardian" that protects the swordsman and makes a pact with an earth spirit, a "black mage" who can use fire spells and makes a pact with a fire spirit and a "white mage" that can heal and makes a pact with a water spirit. Sugar tells them they need to choose those roles and wants them to become the strongest familia. Sasae realizes something and asks why are there only women around, but Sugar tells him he will understand soon.

Sugar wants to talk with Kanae, while Manako, Hinana and Sasae take a bath. Manako expresses desire that she is a shield guardian as she wants to protect everyone and Hinana wonders between white mage and black mage as both require some "brain". Going out of the bath, Sasae sees Kanae and realizes something troubles her. As they talk, she reveals that to form a pact with a spirit, you must sacrifice something important to you and for woman that's usually their ovary, which guarantees the pact and helps in the battle as they don't have missing legs or arms. As its a hard to decision to make, Sasae have an idea as he wonders why he was summoned in the world in the first place, considering how much stronger are the three girls than him.

On the next day, the family gathers in front of Sugar and Kanae tells her that Kanae, Manako and Hinana are going to be the "swordsmen". Since the silver sword that Sugar had prepared for them is too, but Kanae proposes they re-forge it into three smaller swords. Sasae then says that the other three roles will be handled by him which shocks Sugar and doesn't believe that will work, but Kanae tells her she can't tell them what to do.

Sometime later, the three girls engage Dead Mells in battle, slaying them and impressing Sugar. Sasae then uses offensive, defensive and healing spell at the same time to support them, making Sugar wonder what spirits he made pact with and what he had to sacrifice.
