Ohana Matsumae has been working at Kissui Inn as a waitress for a while now. However, she realizes that she is starting to lose her desire to sparkle, having grown accustomed to the routines of her job. As this was a desire she had when she first moved to the inn, the realization bothers her. While having Yuina Wakura—Ohana's classmate, friend, and the daughter of rival Fukuya Inn's owner—under her as an apprentice, Ohana stumbles upon some old archives that mention her mother, Satsuki. Ohana does not know much about her mother, but these archives could shed some light on her past. Besides learning more about her mother, it is business as usual at Kissui Inn—though with a couple of challenges to test Ohana and the staff of the inn. Although initially perplexed at the sudden turn of events which led her to live in the hot spring inn Kissuisou, now Ohana is perfectly accustomed to the new lifestyle; she has started to even notice a positive change in herself lately. One day from a neighboring inn Fukuya comes Wakura Yuina on a mission to train herself as an okami, where Ohana is told by her grandmother to assist this naive young girl.Upon tidying up the storeroom Ohana discovers a box amid piles of items scattered around, which is packed with business logs Denroku has made over the years. She picks up a log and finds in it her mother's name, together with the fact that her mother once said she wanted to shine, and there she realizes the minds of both mother and daughter work the same.
