The story revolves around Kobayashi, a 26-year-old woman who works as a programmer. Her life seems ordinary until the day she saves a dragon from being defeated by a group of adventurers. The dragon, named Toi, comes from a faraway land and ends up owing Kobayashi a debt. Instead of repaying her in gold or treasure, Toi decides to become Kobayashi's maid. This event sets off a chain of unusual occurrences as more dragons become involved in Kobayashi's life, each taking on human forms and behaving in quirky and sometimes endearing ways.
