The story revolves around three sisters, Ai (the eldest), Mai (the middle child), and Mii (the youngest), their maid, Mea, and a white ferret named Unagi, as they travel through time in a mansion running a Christmas shop and searching for a flower called "popotan" which resembles a dandelion. Although the story follows these three sisters, the anime alludes to the fact that others have attempted to make similar journeys in the past. This, however is the only glimps into the past and relations with the characters is never revealed leaving mysteries as to how and why Shizaku, Keith and Mea are associated. While the sisters eventually meet Shizaku, the story ends with a continuation of them traveling in the mansion leaving an unanswered questions as to their final destionation, if any, nor why they were chosen. Their bodies are connected to the mansion where they live, which is also the vehicle that allows them to travel through time. When they are outside the mansion, their bodies cease to age, to the point where even their hair stops growing. Every time they travel through time in their mansion, they jump five years into the future and, with one exception, never ends up in the same place. The one exception is when the party is split, presumably because it needed everyone together. As they travel through time, meet and leave friends they make, they are given a descion to determine whether they will stay in the era they like most or continue on their journey together.
