[3] Nanami is an apathetic, part-time junior high school teacher, whose only solace comes from connecting with others on "Planet", a new social networking service.

Nanami, underconfident, and quiet, loses her job as a teacher and decides to quit to be a housewife for Tetsuya.

Nanami is desperate so reaches out to her online friend, Amuro, a self-proclaimed jack-of-all-trades, who runs a business (amongst others) that hires actors for weddings.

Amuro contacts Nanami and asks her to help out by acting as a family member for another wedding.

Tetsuya seems to be unaware of the cheating, even when Nanami mentions the name of the girl, as she was told by his partner.

One day, Amuro offers Nanami a housekeeping job in an old mansion, and she finds Mashiro is the other maid.
