Kagetsuya and Chihaya are in Tokyo's Shibuya district studying the positive and negative aspects of humans. Having just recently become a team, Chihaya and Kagetsuya are still not getting along very well. After having an argument with Kagetsuya, Chihaya wanders the streets of Shibuya thinking back to their last observation in Hong Kong where he'd shown his true form to one of the earthians. While Kagetsuya may consider Chihaya's action a serious mistake or even a breach of conduct, Chihaya doesn't think so; it'd been a deliberate act on his part. However, while pondering over his partnership with Kagetsuya, Chihaya meets a young woman, Takako who is being chased by a group of men. Who are these men and why are they chasing her? Chihaya decides to help Takako and in the process gets himself and Kagetsuya involved in an unusual biohumanoid project conducted by an institution known as "House".
