Plot
Ordinary twentysomething Kurusu Kimihito thought living with a bunch of monster girls was complicated enough, but there’s a new directive sent down from the government: get a job! Now Lamia Miia, Centaur Centoria, and all your favourites have to join the working world, leading to sexy uniforms, on-the-job shenanigans, and all-new hilarity!

Prologue:

 * Ms Smith hires Kimihito's household to work as a test at different companies for one day a week. This represents another part of the Interspecies Cultural Exchange, because while Liminals are already able to work part-time, in the future they should also be able to work at companies or start their own businesses.
 * Ms Smith also assigns the four MON members as backup, which they don't generally agree with, but eventually they do when Ms Smith adds that there are "bonuses" for completing this mission.
 * After a moment's thought, the girls from Kimihito's household agree to Ms Smith's request.

Chapter 1:

 * Although a single cup of coffee is enough to get Rachnera drunk, Arachne are immune to alcohol.
 * Although Miia isn't a drinker, Lamia can actually tolerate a lot of alcohol, to the point where Miia can drink several glasses of tequila without getting drunk.
 * Because of her own criminal streak, Lilith knows a lot about the Japanese underworld.

Chapter 3:

 * Ren Kunanzuki has been working as maid supervisor at Cafe Masha since the events of Chapter 26.
 * The two MON employees who admire Manako so much (from Chapter 42) reappear and their code names are "Salmon" and "Dubtwo".

Chapter 5:

 * Yuuhi Hajime makes a return.

Trivia

 * Various stores released unique limited edition "SS papers", drawn by Okayado, to go with purchases of this light novel :
 * Animate "Love and Shine Mon Musume Live" (Papi & Mero & Tionishia)
 * Gamers "Drinking tips" (Mia & Rachnera & Zombina)
 * COMIC ZIN (Smith)
 * Toranoana "Does Dragonewt wear bunny girl clothes?" (Draco & Polt) Shosen
 * Horindo "Plant work" (Kii & Lilith)
 * Melon Books "Used work clothes" (Centorea & Manako)
 * E-book version "You can wear white clothes ...? ] (Suu & Lala & Doppel)
 * Additionally, Melon Books released a "limited edition" purchase which included a limited edition tapestry image with each purchase.
 * In chapter 1, Kimihito remembers his experience at the Sno Ball Hot Spring Resort, which confirms that the events of the light novel are chronologically between Volume 16 and Volume 17.
 * Papi and Suu are said to be the youngest members of Kimihito's household, but at least in Papi's case, that isn't true. Despite her childlike appearance, Papi is as old as Miia, as Ms Smith explains in Chapter 3 of the main series.
 * Manako's and Doppel's species are referred to as Cyclops and Doppelganger, but that is imprecise. Manako is a Monoeye and Cyclops are a subspecies of the Monoeyes. Doppel describes herself as a Doppelganger, but actually she is a Shapeshifter (if she were really a Doppelganger, the person she was transformed into would die in an encounter with her, as revealed in Doppel's secrets).
 * Lilith is referred to as a "demon" several times. This is probably due to the fact that the Japanese word "akuma" translated can mean both "devil" and "demon".
