For those peaceful days――there is a secret behind it all.

A secret organization that prevents crimes: “DA – Direct Attack”. And their group of all-female agents: “Lycoris.” This peaceful daily life is thanks to these young girls. Elite Chisato Nishikigi is the most powerful Lycoris agent of all time. At his side is Takina Inoue, the talented but mysterious Lycoris. They work together in one of its branches, Café LycoReco.

Here, the orders this cafe takes range from coffee and sweets, to babysitting, shopping, teaching Japanese to foreign students, and more. These are mostly tasks unworthy of Lycoris.

The free-spirited and optimistic pacifist, Chisato. And Takina, cool and efficient. The chaotic daily life of this mismatched duo begins!

The spin-off novel depicts the “not-so-common daily life” of Chisato, Takina, and the others at Café LycoReco.
