Haruka asks Yūto to accompany her to Akihabara on Sunday because she wants to buy a game console. The two spend most of the day window shopping and Haruka wastes some money on a toy vending machine. Yūto and Haruka even go to a maid café for lunch where Haruka is dressed in a pink maid uniform and gets her picture taken with Yūto.

The next day at school, a guy bumps into Haruka which spills the contents of her bag and exposes her Comiket catalog. Yūto thanks Haruka for picking 'his' catalog up for him which diverts everyone's attention to him. Even so, Haruka does not come to school for three days. When Yūto goes to see her, he finds out from Mika that Haruka's secret had been exposed in middle school and that she was ostracized for it and transferred schools. Yūto explains to Haruka that he took the hit for her, which is part of the reason Haruka stayed away.

The next morning, Gentō arrives and assaults the Ayase house with his personal paramilitary squad, "Hell Hound". Haruka refuses to go home, and Yūto protests his disapproval of Haruka's hobby.

Yūto confronts Haruka about the event again, but she tells him she does not want to hear what he has to say and runs off. As he is searching for Haruka, Yūto runs into Hazuki who gives him some advice on how to move forward with Haruka. With Hazuki's help, Yūto finds Haruka behind the gym where he apologizes and assures her that he will not leave her.

Yūto becomes insecure and is about to leave when the old man from the seashore helps Yūto regain his confidence. Yūto runs back to Haruka and presents his gift, a Clumsy Aki-chan doll, and Shute is shocked to see how happy it makes her, especially considering how little it costs compared to his lavish gifts. Shute manhandles the old man who appears and reprimands him for his disrespect. He pays for his insolence when the old man is revealed to be Haruka's retired grandfather — technically the most powerful person present — and his own father forces him to publicly apologize to both Haruka's grandfather and Yūto in front of the distinguished crowd.

When everyone is out in town, Yūto tells Haruka about an event close by where they can meet the voice actress of the lead character from her favorite anime, Nocturne Girls' School Lacrosse Club.

Yūto asks Haruka, who is overjoyed at the prospect of helping out an already established circle, to accompany him. Yūto and Haruka continue their work on Haruka's illustration book of the Nocturne Girls' School Lacrosse Club lead character Haruna, though on the day of the event Haruka's book is not selling. Nobunaga gives Yūto some advice, telling him that half the enjoyment is actually making the dōjinshi and Yūto realizes there are more important things than the book selling or not.

After finding out that Haruka is working to get him a Christmas present, Yūto decides to apply for a well-paying job as a part-time butler. He gets the job, but he must serve the selfish and demanding Touka Tennouji of the Tennouji household, a first-year schoolmate at Yūto's school, whose previous part-time butlers quit after a day or less under her command. Yūto does his best to satisfy Touka's requests, though she is still largely dissatisfied with this efforts. Yūto learns that Touka's family is currently deciding matters of inheritance since her grandfather died recently, and that the strain is having an adverse effect on Touka's emotional state. Through kindness and hard work, Yūto manages to gain Touka's favor, but after Ruko and Yukari invade the Tennouji mansion searching for him to cook for them (and causing severe damage to both the security force and the premises), nearly all of Yūto's pay is withheld in order to cover the costs of the repairs.

Yūto regains consciousness after Maria Yukinohara (the fifth-ranking maid) ministers to him. Haruka declares that she will stay by his side in order to nurse him back to health, under the questionable guidance of a handbook that Mika prepared. To preserve the Christmas spirit in spite of Yūto's poor health, Haruka decorates his yard with Christmas lights, and presents him with a necklace with a golden charm as Christmas present. He in turn presents her with his present: a ring (called the Moonlight) which, at Haruka's request, he places on her ring finger. Mika and the maids accentuate the moment by creating artificial snow from the rooftop.

He enjoys the party in the company of Alice and meets Minamo Kusumoto (fourth-rank maid). When he wins one of the party games instead of choosing the prize he wanted, he chooses the prize Alice wanted and gives it to her, earning her gratitude and affection, an act that Kusumoto-san notices. The party atmosphere is broken by the arrival of Shute, the same rich boy who caused trouble during Haruka's birthday party, who was ordered by his father to work as a butler for a while as a lesson in humility. After having his suit accidentally dirtied by Alice, Shute shouts at her and steps on the gift Yūto gave her and spits in her face. He goes on to insult the butlers and maids at the party, stating that they are inferior beings. To everyone's surprise Yūto stands up to Shute and endures the humiliation of having a bottle of wine poured over his head, but Yūto's kind words and his treatment at the hands of Shute inspire the Nogizaka maids to deal with him. Matters turn for the worse for Shute and his lackeys when Shute's father, who has heard his son's lack of civility over the phone, apologizes to the assembled servants and gives them permission to mete out suitable chastisement. Afterwards, Yūto is complimented by all of the other guests, Alice gathers up the courage to actually speak to him (even calling him 'brother') and then the rest of the Nogizaka maid team show up, stating that, begging Haruka-sama's pardon, they are going to express how much they love Yūto too.

Mai and Ryouko, two of Shiina's friends, and Yūto come to pay her a visit, during which Yūto gives the three girls an unforgettable massage, a "punishment" for losing a game of old maid. Later, Yūto and the others leave for the day, but Yūto comes back because he was worried about Shiina. Yūto helps her by preparing dinner, and the two spend the rest of the night having fun together.

He is surprised to find out that Mika is a popular girl at school; he has difficulty reconciling her usual personality with the fact that she is the student council president for a second year (she was elected in her freshman year and re-elected this year) and school idol, pretty much like her sister, Haruka. After meeting her classmates, Mika and her closer friends take Yūto to their club room where her friends all sit in Yūto's lap (since she has said that his lap is comfortable) much to his and Mika's discomfort. Mika then shows him her script for a play which the girls then proceed to act out. They ask Yūto for his help with acting the male lead, but are interrupted by a call for Mika, as student council president, to meet with the vice-principal. Mika returns from her meeting to find only Yūto waiting for her and they end up getting locked in the club room. The maids find them just in time to witness Mika's attempt to kiss Yūto.

That night, they ride on the Ferris wheel and confirm their relationship, though not without the hijinks caused by a quite shaky Ferris wheel.

Suddenly, Milan decides she wants Yūto as her manager since her own manager is currently in a different prefecture. Yūto and Milan go around together to a photo shoot, voice acting session and other events. Then Milan and Yūto go to a studio for the Nocturne Girls' School Lacrosse Club where Milan has to perform the anime's theme song, and Yūto is chosen to be a temporary voice actor. After he returns from working as a temporary manager, Yūto overhears Yayoi and Nozomi while they are poring over Haruka's photographs.

Milan gives Yūto invitations to attend her concert on Valentine's Day. The maids investigate and discover that Haruka is unaware of her managers' plan of turning her into an idol, meaning that Yayoi and Nozomi were lying. During the concert, Yūto, with some "on-stage prodding" from Milan, decides to leave so as to go to Haruka's idol audition. Their scheme exposed, Yayoi and Nozomi try desperately to stop Yūto from interfering. Fortunately for him, the Maid Team along with Akiho and Gento arrive to help get the upper hand against them. The final blow comes when the managers are forced out of their own talent agency since Haruka's father has bought it and all associated material in a hostile takeover. Later, at the Nogizaka mansion, while Akiho and Gento are watching Yayoi and Nozomi in a mud wrestling contest on TV, Haruka gives a Valentine's present to Yūto.

While the group enjoys everything that the resort has to offer, Shiina sees the trip as an opportunity to express her feelings to Yūto, but in an attempt to hug him, she ends up groping Gento. An enraged Akiho catches them in a compromising position and gets the wrong idea, causing Gento to pass on the group's shrine visitation the next day. The next evening, a blizzard arrives and Haruka goes missing on the top of the mountain. Gento sends the Maid Team out to find her. When Yūto, equipped with an insulated polar bear suit, finds her looking for the Moonlight ring he gave her, they both fall down a ridge and become stuck in a cabin. As she is wet and freezing, Haruka takes off her clothes and joins Yūto in his bear suit in just her underwear, but the two are quickly found, not only because the bear suit has a tracking device, but also because the cabin turns out to be just behind the resort. When asked what they were doing, Yūto and Haruka both answer "It's a secret".

Setsugetsuka is gloating over having been able to cause Haruka misfortune. The Maid Team arrives at Yūto's house to pick him up and they board a jet to where Haruka is being held with the aim of stopping her marriage. Elsewhere, Touka departs for the marriage location as well. Upon parachuting in and infiltrating the building, the maids and everyone else sacrifice themselves to fight the "Hell Hounds" allowing Yūto and Mika to proceed. Ultimately, Yūto has to fight Haruka's father, while Haruka has to fight her own mother to prove their love. They succeed and come to embrace one another. Everyone then appears and applauds; as it turns out Gento and Akiho had set the whole event up to test how strong the bond between Yūto and Haruka truly is, so they can make an official wedding for them. Setsugetsuka steps in to interfere, summoning the Tennouji clan's knight, but is surprised to learn the knight has already been dealt with by Touka. Haruka and Yūto then get married and are finally able to kiss without interruption.
