Due to her father's remarriage, robust 16-year-old Himeno Awayuki moves into a large mansion with a beautiful garden—the quintessential dream house for any girl her age. However, much to Himeno's disappointment, her new stepfamily doesn't really seem to like her, as her stepmother often occupies herself with her father, her younger stepsister Mawata ignores her, and her other stepsister—the equally aged Mayune—tries to prank her at every opportunity. But Himeno doesn't have time to dwell into thoughts of hopelessness—her new life has now become involved with a group of seven magical boys known as the Leafe Knights, after they ask her to become a magical princess who can borrow their powers! Although Himeno accepts their request and becomes the Prétear, she feels doubtful in her abilities to protect the world and its Leafe, the source of energy for all life. Will Himeno be able to find happiness among her new family and also save the Earth from the enemy, the Princess of Disaster?

Unfortunately, so is the family butler, Mr. Tanaka, who is more than willing to help, and introduces the group to some of the houses more interesting sides.

9. Unreachable Melody
Still unable to find the strength to protect anyone, Himeno continues to find the power within herself. Meanwhile, another demon is lurking about the Awayuki residence, but Karou thinks perhaps its a ghost and enlists (forces) everyone to help him track it down.
