In order to maintain their body and preserve their beautiful appearance, they must consume a substance only found on males. This substance is a liquid called "Sauzfryma", better known as semen. The princess, however, bears a great dislike against men, and only agrees to create a harem if a human male is to join.

In the human world Midgar, young father Touhara Naoya was greeted by a suspicious lady one day, claiming that she is a fortune teller. She also claims that she can help him find the "perfect job" fitted for him. Even though it seems suspicious, he accepts the free consultation in order to support himself and his young daughter. After meeting in the park with the suspicious lady a day later, he suddenly found himself in Alfheimr, a medieval fantasy realm located on a different world. The mysterious lady uncloaks her true identity as the Head Chamberlain of the kingdom of Ygvarland. He was then lead to the palace of Ygvarland, and there, the "job" he accepted was finally revealed; he was to become a human candidate for princess Astarotte's harem.

Character
The main character of this work. Her long blond hair is tied up on two sides with a black ribbon. She has long ahoges, one from the front center of her head and one each on her left and right tails. Her eyes are lime green, inherited from her mother, and have sharp eyes. She is pink and has a long tail with a heart-shaped tip.

Partly because of her age, she has a perfect infant figure. However, her mother had big breasts, and by the time she reached her 11th birthday, she was already close to her current figure, so her body shape (especially her chest) was the exact opposite of her mother's. have a complex. She worried that she was growing slowly, but in the final episode wings finally appeared on her back.

The princess of the Ygvalland Kingdom in the demon world. She is usually abbreviated as "Lotte" (she is directly called "Hime-sama" or "His Highness"). Her mother is the King Mercerida. She likes her mother, but because of her position, she grew up without being able to spoil her, so she can't express it honestly.

4-5 years ago, her mother had sex with a man in the inner palace in front of her, which traumatized her, and fatally for a dream demon, she became a big hater of men. Furthermore, he had moved from the royal castle to a mansion in the suburbs, and had no other men around him than Olaf.

His personality is a little twisted and not obedient, but he is kind at heart (tends to be a tsundere). At 10 years old, she still drinks milk from a Milk bottle (life seed "semen" substitute). At first, the relationship with Naoya was somewhat strained (because he was a man who was not supposed to come, and he was a man, so he had to prepare to set up the inner palace), but with Judith's guidance, he had a date at the amusement park. Since then, the distance has gradually gotten closer. He now has a sort of fondness for him, but his personality prevents him from expressing it openly. Also, when he first met Ashitaha (his half-sister), he had a bad atmosphere, but he soon reconciled, and since then he has been on good terms with him as a close friend. At least there is no sign of competing for the throne like the two aunts (Ingvida and Grieda) who have already passed away with Asuha.

She have been attending the Royal Academy since spring. As a princess, she kept a distance from her classmates, but after Asuha started to visit her, she became friends with Mist, Yuna, and Ryukka through her, and it seems that she has since blended in with the class.

While only her 10 years of age, Astarotte is told that she needs to begin building a harem because when she fully matures, her body will require a regular supply of semen to keep from wasting away, much like a vampire requires blood. Unfortunately, circumstances involving members of her mother's harem have led her to develop a fierce hatred and disgust toward all men.
