Episodes

White Lilies
1	Episode 1	Summer
Aira is introducing photo editing apps to Tatsumi and Mayoi. He shows off the functions of the app by editing Tatsumi's facial features and applying a zombie-filter to Mayoi's face, unnerving the latter. Hiiro arrives late to their lunch meeting, delayed by an interview he did for work. He says that people often find it hard to understand what he means and expresses his desire to learn how to communicate better. Tatsumi and Mayoi tell Hiiro that there's nothing wrong with his answers, while Aira says that they're spoiling him. Since they have a limited amount of time, they all begin ordering their lunch and as Hiiro is about to place his order, he gets a message on Hold-Hands from Eichi, asking to meet him.
2	Episode 2	Summer
On his way to the meeting, Hiiro ponders why Eichi wants to meet him until deciding that there's no use worrying about it. When he enters the meeting room, he's greeted by Eichi, Hokuto, and Kanata. Hokuto reveals that he and Kanata were also called over suddenly, and tells Eichi to explain why he called them here. Eichi points out Hokuto's aggressive tone and reminds him of the importance of a good first impression, to Hokuto's displeasure. At Hokuto's request, Eichi begins talking about the topic of the meeting—a magazine that's currently popular with women. The editorial department of the magazine sent a job offer to all agencies in ES for a modeling job. Eichi wanted the leaders of each unit in STAR PRO to take on this task but since Chiaki was busy with another job, he had Kanata take on the job instead. Kanata, Hiiro, and Hokuto express their worry for their lack of modeling experience, but Eichi assures them that the theme—"OJS" Men—won't be too difficult.
3	Episode 3	Summer
Hiiro is unfamiliar with what "OJS" means, but Hokuto figures out that they must be the initials of romanized Japanese words. He then proceeds to incorrectly guess that OJS must stand for middle-aged men (O Ji San). Eichi is astonished at how Hokuto managed to arrive at that answer before revealing the right answer—Princely Men (Ou Ji Sama). Eichi's goal for this job is to make people think of pure, innocent princes when they think of STAR PRO; and to promote ES' idols to the magazine buyers. Hokuto and Hiiro understand that Eichi's plan is to attract fans and potential fans to ES. Eichi tells them that they don't need to worry about the marketing, and to just focus on modeling as a charming prince. Hiiro, Hokuto, and Kanata are confused about what the prince theme means, with Eichi telling them that they don't need to overthink this. After Eichi leaves for his next job, the three continue discussing what it means to be a Princely Man. Because Hiiro is unfamiliar with what a prince is, Hokuto offers to teach everyone about princes through his experience playing as prince characters.
4	Episode 4	Summer
Two hours later, Hiiro is thinking about what he learned about princes from the story Cinderella. He notices that someone dropped a towel in a hallway and decides to find the owner so he can practice acting like a prince. He encounters Tatsumi, who greets him and asks him if he's seen his towel. Copying the prince from Cinderella, Hiiro gets down on one knee and proposes to Tatsumi because he found his towel, greatly confusing him. Tatsumi doesn't understand what Hiiro is trying to do, asking him why he's been talking about becoming a prince and if it has to do with the meeting with Eichi. Hiiro explains that he was given a modeling job with the theme of Princely Men. Tatsumi understands why Hiiro did what he did, and gives him some advice for acting like a prince. He suggests that Hiiro should substitute the idea of a prince with something more familiar to him, and they decide that Hiiro should act like a descendant of his hometown's ruler.
5	Episode 5	Summer
After listening to Tatsumi's advice, Hiiro decides to try acting like one of his ancestors to Aira—who was passing by the lounge. Hiiro presents Aira with a live chicken that he gets ready to butcher in the kitchen before Aira takes the chicken away from him. Aira tells Hiiro that he doesn't need him to cook anything for him and that he would hate him if he cooked the chicken. This troubles Hiiro, who thinks of other ways he could be like his ancestors while Aira tries to stop him and get his attention. Aira begins to fear that Hiiro might've eaten some strange mushrooms, causing him to act like this. Once Hiiro begins thinking of doing spells for him, Aira's fears are confirmed and he runs away, terrified.
6	Episode 6	Summer
The next day, Tatsumi needs to talk to Eichi to discuss a document but notices that he's in a bad mood. Eichi explains that when he was about to rest after a long day of work, he suddenly had to deal with various complaints from many people until morning. Tatsumi lets Eichi know that he can talk to him if needs to, and Eichi tells him that he doesn't need to worry. Hiiro arrives at the meeting room—called there by Eichi—and is greeted by Hokuto, who escorts him to his seat. Hiiro thanks him but tells him that he's able to walk to his seat himself. Hokuto understands, and explains that he's been treating people like a prince since yesterday, and that he was acting in character. Hiiro mentions that he was struggling to figure out how to prepare for the magazine yesterday and Kanata replies by blowing into a conch shell. Both Hiiro and Hokuto are confused why Kanata keeps blowing a conch shell, and Kanata explains that this is how he's playing the role of a prince. Hiiro changes the topic, asking if either of them know why Eichi called them here today, but neither of them know why. Eichi arrives at the meeting and Hokuto asks him why he's called them here two days in a row. Eichi has the three of them try to guess why, but none of them have any idea why. He reveals that he received a large number of complaints about what the three of them did yesterday. Hokuto creeped people out by going too far with his performance, Kanata bothered people by blowing his conch shell, and Hiiro scared Aira by inviting him to do a spell. Eichi asks them to explain why they were behaving like that.
7	Episode 7	Summer
The three of them explain why they acted that way. Hokuto was trying to act like a fairytale prince, Hiiro substituted the idea of a prince with something more familiar to him, and Kanata was imitating Triton—the son of the sea god Poseidon. Kanata explains that he did his own research about princes after learning from Hokuto, earning praise from Hokuto and more confusion from Eichi. Hokuto blames Eichi for not properly explaining what a princely man is yesterday and Eichi tells them that they should've at least looked up what a princely man is online—which none of them did. Eichi gives Hiiro a tablet to use for research, but since neither he nor Kanata know how to use a tablet, Hokuto helps them look up information about "princely men." After they look up what people imagine when they think of the image of a princely man, they decide that they'll need to edit their photos to look sparkly.
8	Episode 8	Summer
They continue their research by looking up what the personality of a princely man is. As they look at the traits and understand them in comparison to things familiar to them, Kanata mentions that Wataru is like someone with those traits. Hokuto initially denies that Wataru's anything like a prince, but when he realizes that Wataru can read his mind and surprise people like a princely man, he is shocked to think that Wataru might be more qualified to be a prince than him. Hiiro wonders if this means he should act like Wataru, and Eichi is shocked at how far they went off topic. Since there are only a few days left before the photo shoot, Eichi decides to have someone help them. Three days passed and everyone finished with the photo shoot. Eichi congratulates everyone and tells them that the magazine's editorial department praised how the photos turned out. To the three's surprise, the helper Eichi called was Anzu. With her instructions, everyone was able to pose with confidence. Hokuto wonders if they really managed to capture the image of a prince because they just posed according to Anzu's instructions. Eichi tells him that he asked the editorial department for the photos they took to show them. They all agree that the photos ended up looking very nice, but Hiiro feels that their personalities didn't change. Eichi affirms this, and tells him that while clothing and poses can make someone look more like a prince, they should act like themselves to be an "ideal prince". Hiiro thinks that this means they still aren't "ideal princes" because they aren't actually princes. Eichi tells them that they are the "ideal prince", because idols should be princes in their fans' hearts.
