Hana’s marriage of convenience to Saku was supposed to be temporary, but she finds herself thinking about him more and more. But as she wonders about this, a string of thefts have been happening...and the targets are all spelled talismans!

Hana Ichise is from a branch family to one of five barrier-weaving magical clans who protect and support Japan. But in the eyes of her mother and father, she’s an afterthought compared to her talented older twin sister. When Hana’s true potential awakens at age fifteen, she decides to keep her newfound abilities a secret—including from her parents—so she can have a quiet life. But the powerful new head of the elite Ichinomiya clan, Saku Ichinomiya, is looking for a bride...and he has his eyes on Hana!

Do you want fries with your hellfire? A portal opens in the courtyard of the Devil's Castle (a tiny walk-up). From it emerges a little girl who calls the Devil King "papa" and the Hero "mama." Ashiya and Chiho are shocked to discover that Maou and Emi had that kind of relationship, but nobody's more surprised than the two new "parents." Will Maou the breadwinner be able to make the grade when it comes to child rearing? And will this spell the end of the starry-eyed Emi's romantic ambitions?

Hana has kept her recently emerged powers a secret from her condescending family. However, the new head of the clan, the beautiful and powerful Saku Ichinomiya, makes Hana into his bride to help strengthen the barrier of a pillar that protects Japan. Now, Hana's powers are being tested by Saku’s family, and she’s even met with harassment at school!

All Hana wanted was a simple life. Instead, she has her hands full sending a terrorist organization packing, saving her school from destruction, and rescuing her twin sister from the clutches of their terrible parents! Plus, she has to stay on her toes to keep her husband’s romantic advances at bay. At this point, living a normal life and flying under the radar are simply impossible. News about who she is has spread far and wide, finally reaching Yukizasa Sankourou, a famous scion from one of the five clans and Saku’s old friend who vehemently opposes Saku’s marriage to Hana. He isn’t content to just grumble either; he fully intends on taking drastic action, and he’s not above teaming up with Hana’s parents to get her out of the picture!
