In the first episode of "Momochi-san Chi no Ayakashi Ouji" titled "Strangers in the Momochi House," Himari Momochi, an orphan who grew up in an orphanage, learns on her 16th birthday that she has inherited a house from her deceased parents. Excited to finally have a connection to her family, she travels to the house, only to find it inhabited by three strangers: Aoi Nanamori, Yukari, and Ise.
Upon her arrival, Himari is startled by Aoi, who is initially naked. After introducing herself, Himari claims the house belongs to her, but Aoi, Yukari, and Ise assert their ownership. They reveal that the house is known in the outside world as a haunted house, a fact confirmed by locals who warned Himari that the house is inhabited by "otherworldly demons."
Himari refuses to be intimidated and stays, even though Aoi suggests she leave for her own safety. She tries to make herself useful by cooking and cleaning but struggles with the old-fashioned furnishings. She learns that Aoi, Yukari, and Ise share a close bond, which she admires.
The episode takes a turn when Himari encounters a group of small Yokai (spirits) in the house. Aoi, who reveals herself as the guardian of the house (Omamori-sama) and a powerful Ayakashi named Nue, steps in to protect her. It becomes clear that the Momochi House exists on the border between the human and spiritual worlds.
During a confrontation with a dangerous Ayakashi named Kumonyudo, Aoi transforms into his Nue form to protect Himari. After the threat is neutralized, Aoi is visibly concerned for Himari's safety. Himari reassures Aoi that she wants to stay in the house despite the risks, to connect with the memory of her deceased parents.
The episode ends with Himari's determination to live with Aoi and the others in the house, despite the dangers and mysteries surrounding the Momochi House. She begins her new life with courage and optimism.
