This is a romantic story about Sho and Arietti. Sho, a light-hearted boy with congenital heart disease, decided to move to his aunt's house in the suburbs of Tokyo a week before he underwent heart surgery, and met Arietti, who ventured out to pick bay leaves to surprise his mother, through his hometown long-haired cat. Ariette, who was about the same age as Sho, was a lively and straightforward and adventurous girl who ran home after picking up what she needed, but she didn't notice the sight that followed her, and that night she went on her first "borrowing" trip with her father Potter.
However, just as they were about to achieve their goal and receive what they needed, Sho discovered that in view of the tragic experience of the "Borrowers" in the past, Ariette did not believe Sho and ran away, and in a panic lost the candy cube that had been in her hand. On the second day, a depressed Ariette watched the rain alone in the corner, but happened to see Xiang put yesterday's candy cube opposite, Ariette hesitated at first to accept this intention due to the opposition of her family, but she then found Sho alone with the candy cube and warned him not to bother them in such a self-inflicted way, but she was almost attacked by a crow. There is an idiom called "disaster can't be avoided", although the Ariette family was admired and loved by the gentle Xiang and Xiang's ancestors, and even Xiang's ancestors spent a lot of money to customize a comfortable small house for them from England, but there is also a greedy person in the world, such as the servant of this old house - Ah Chun.
After Sho took it upon himself to replace the luxurious kitchen for the Ariette family, the remnants of the clues made Ah Chun pose a great threat to the Ariette family and captured her mother, Homiri. But the works of the palace god are all inspirational and warm, and Ariette and Xiang have a thrilling rescue to relieve this danger. But, after all, the people who borrowed things could no longer survive in this place.
After going around and around, Xiang finally said goodbye to Ariette again under the guidance of the long-haired cat from his hometown, but this time, Ariette accepted the candy cube. Since then, the lives of the two have been like two rays that intersect, each moving towards their own trajectory, and they will have their own lives, but what happened in this week will become unforgettable memories.
