It's been a while since I've finished book 3. This volume is a little better in that the whole bloody jungle arc has finished and the story has returned a bit back to the comedy that I remember from the first volume. There's still some carnage, though.

There's a summary page as well as a mini-comic concerning the author.

27. トラップ (Trap): Sakura and his maid, Chui, lure Gisuke, Sonya, and Shizuku out of the forest. As Shizuku and Sonya are dangling in the river, Gisuke looks on helplessly. He then sees Sakura on the other side of the riverbank just about read to dump in toxic chemicals.

28. 円光寺櫻 (Sakura Enkoji): Asuka, the rebel, saves the day by managing to catch the barrel of toxic chemicals by a rope and then throwing the rope up so that it snags Sakura's feet. When Sakura falls, the barrel gets thrown back on the riverbank. Once they capture Sakura though, the original candidate for the Dragon clan, Tendou appears.

29. ゴーイング・ホーム (Going Home): Tendou tells Asuka to hand over Gisuke in exchange and he'll let her take Sakura to which she obeys (with a gun to her head). Tendou then lets Gisuke go home as he wants him to get stronger before he officially challenges him.

30. 転校生 (Transfer Student): Asuka enrolls in the same school where Gisuke and Sonya attend. At first, they get attacked by Chui, who is seeking revenge for her master. Tendou's maid comes and stops her. Asuka decides to move in with Gisuke and the other girls.

31. ソーニャのお引越し (Sonya's Moving): Yukina, Gisuke's other maid who was at home while he was out being abused in the jungle has an idea. Since she doesn't like Sonya that much and wants to be Gisuke's sole maid, she tricks her (not hard to do as Sonya's a big and dumb maid) into moving out of her current room. Conveniently though, there are no other rooms, so she ends up staying in the dog house. This plan backfires when Gisuke invites her to live in his room together.

32. ソーニャの宿題 (Sonya's Homework): Sonya reveals that she has no reading nor writing abilities and instead of turning in a report to her teacher, she makes up for it by making her some lunch. She does eventually do an oral report, but in it, she reveals how close she is to Gisuke.

33. スローターハウス　（前編） (Slaughter House, First Part): Sonya recalls the time she was working as a maid in the Dragon clan. Since the house was run quite strictly with maids killed when something goes wrong, Sonya was quite unpopular as she's naive and always plays around. This got her quite a many beatings from her peers.

34. スローターハウス　（後編） (Slaughter House, Last Part): One of the people Sonya plays with is an old man in the park. When the head maid (the murderous one) finds out about an escape plan, Sonya confesses even though she doesn't understand the question nor implication. That old man comes saves the day as he's the leader of the clan who doesn't usually show his face much (hence why Sonya didn't know him as her boss).
