Plot
Kimihito is kidnapped by Papi, who brings him to a park, where he buys her ice cream. Papi then takes a bath in a public fountain, where Miia finds them. With various mishaps, the three work together to save a girl who was stuck in a tree. When a policeman arrives, Kimihito claims to be Papi's host family to keep her from being deported. The officer is skeptical, but Smith arrives with Papi's papers just in time, and tells Kimihito that she was on her way to make the harpy live with him, and Papi (much to her delight) joins the household.

While out grocery shopping, Kimihito collides with Centorea. She becomes convinced that Kimihito is her destined master. Encountering a purse-snatcher, the two pursue him. They eventually catch him, despite various embarrassing accidents. When the thief tries to attack Centorea with her dropped sword, Kimihito leaps in front of her and takes the blow, but survives due to the sword being a fake. Later, Smith explains that Kimihito riding Centorea could be viewed as akin to rape, since only a centaur's chosen master may ride them. Centorea chooses him as her master, resulting in her joining his household.

Differences from the Manga
Chapter 3:
 * In the manga, Kimihito falls off the branch, while in the anime, Papi slides down with him after discovering the ice cream van. Kimihito asks Papi why she took him to the park in the anime while he was still holding on to the branch, whereas in the manga he only did so after he fell to the ground.
 * When the girl falls from the tree in the manga, Miia tries to grab her with her hand, but in the anime she tries to grab her with her tail.

Chapter 4:
 * The hilt of Centorea's sword is of a different design in the manga than in the anime.
 * In the manga, the thief finds a collection of 1000 yen notes ($10) in the purse he stole, while in the anime he finds a collection of 10,000 yen notes ($100) within the purse.
 * In the anime the truck on which Centorea landed after her jump explodes, but in the manga this doesn't happen. This would not even be possible in real life, as a truck cannot simply be destroyed by an impact from this height. It would also be a violation of the Cultural Exchange Between Species Bill, as the driver of the truck would have been seriously injured or even killed by the explosion.
 * Although the thief is shown being restrained by two men in both versions after striking Kimihito, the Bicycle Police Officer is not shown arresting him in the manga version.
