Alec, an A-rank adventurer, returned from a long journey and visited his old guild for the first time in a while. He only intended to say a quick hello, but was bewildered when he was saddled with a troublesome quest and a black-haired woman who introduced herself with the mysterious title of 'Housekeeping Mage'.

However, the woman, named Shiori, used her magic in peculiar ways, providing warm baths, delicious meals, and comfortable beds – an environment far too luxurious for an outdoor camp. Alec and his companions quickly found their hearts thoroughly captured.

Alec, completely smitten with Shiori, can he manage to woo the woman who is desperate just to survive each day?
