Ep. 2: Naoya attempts to connect with Astarotte by creating a replica of her cherished doll to ease her loneliness.

2

Naoya meets Astarotte, who initially rejects his attempts at friendship. He discovers her past trauma: as a child, she saw her mother, Mercelída Ygvar I, engaging in intimate acts with a harem member, which caused her to dislike men and distance herself from her mother. Seeking to reduce her isolation, Naoya crafts a replica of Astarotte’s favorite doll. The following day, Astarotte agrees to allow Naoya into her harem, provided he accepts the role of her "toy." This arrangement marks a shift in their relationship, driven by Naoya’s effort to alleviate her loneliness through a meaningful gesture.
