Razania, a maid, is worried about her master's son Capuri, who is not interested in eating.
He always leaves food on his plate, even though she cooks as best as she could. One day,

Capuri gives them his food. They are happy with it and start to eat. Capuri sees the little
monsters enjoy eating, which makes him change his mind - he starts to eat. Then, here comes Razania.
She sees Capuri eating. She feels so happy and hugs him. Thanks to the little monsters' help,
