Science teacher Yuka Fujiwara personally requests her mechanical-genius childhood friend and student, Haruhiko Kanou to fix up a VHS set and her MD player. After Yuka leaves, Eukanaria, a demon who look exactly like Yuka, enters the room via a portal, fleeing from Neraga, a demon beast. She claims that Haruhiko has the same scent as Fucanelli, her late partner, who Haruhiko strongly resembles. She gives Haruhiko a knife to defeat Neraga but he loses it. She forces him through a portal to make her a new weapon at Fucanelli's workshop. There, she explains that she wants to find a receptacle to put Fucanelli's soul in. They discover that there is a demon-stone in Yuka's MD player. Haruhiko uses it to create a weapon from Fucanelli's blueprints. Meanwhile, Neraga attacks Yuka and takes her to the school's rooftop. Fucanelli lends some of his power to Haruhiko so that he can banish Neraga. Fucanelli's power allows Haruhiko to be an enchanter, a creator of objects imbued with demonic power. The next day, Eukanaria follows Haruhiko to school in her bee form. Haruhiko sees Yuka having Neraga like a pet rat on her shoulder. She claims that other teachers cannot see Neraga except the geography teacher. When Eukanaria and Haruhiko leave, the geography teacher attacks Yuka for Fucanelli's power, thinking she is Fucanelli's woman. Eukanaria and Haruhiko intervene but they jump out of a window from the third floor to prevent further damage to the classroom. Haruhiko suffers a long cut down the spine. Ai, Parcelsus' servant, intervenes and helps them escape. Ai warps them to Parcelsus' room who appears as a skeleton and introduces himself as an enchanter and physician. He heals Haruhiko's wound. He forces Eukanaria into a room to use her body as payment for his services. She knocks him out with a punch. Haruhiko creates a new weapon and defeats the geography teacher with it. At night, Haruhiko complains about Eukanaria sleeping together with him.

Haruhiko sleeps during Yuka's chemistry class because he cannot sleep with Eukanaria sleeping half-naked next to him. Haruhiko asks Okada for notes on the upcoming test. Okada said that he will give them to him at Haruhiko's house after school. When Haruhiko arrives home, Eukanaria attempts to take his soul. He tricks her into explaining the ways that she can take his soul from his body. They are: signing a contract, die, have sex (there is a moment when the soul becomes unstable) or when he loses the will to live. After Eukanaria realises she has been tricked, she warps out of the room. Pretending to be Yuka, she reappears at Haruhiko's front door with only a towel on and jumps into his arms. Okada arrives at that moment with Haruhiko's notes. A new cave, Anarazelround, has appeared and demons are heavily competing with each other for demon stones in the cave. Consequently, Parcelsus has an increase in patients and all of his tools are broken. He requests five knives to be made from Haruhiko. Eukanaria and Haruhiko go to Anarazelround to get the demon-stones. There they meet enchanter, Adolf, and his demon partner, Lavoix. Together they find the guardian of the cave, Anarazel, and defeat him. As a reward, Anarazel gives Eukanaria a "Ring of Forgetfulness".
