When Harumi nearly drowns in a pool while trying to escape, she is rescued by a kappa named Kappaeru, who takes her to an underground base where she meets also meets the ice princess Yukiko and the fiery mage, Enma, who together form the Yōkai patrol, a group sent from hell to stop demons that appear on the surface. Determining the culprit is a face-eating demon, Harumi offers to lure out the demon so that Enma and co can attack it. Although Harumi finds the beast, due to Enma's laziness her face is also stolen by the time they arrive.

This may not bode well... though.
