* SteppingOutToReact: Inaho makes a joke about how her height and the number of visitors to Erisu's restaurant are alike, in that neither are going up. Having reminded herself of her HeightAngst, she excuses herself to the bathroom to cry. Her seraph, Haruka, says to let her be and that she'll return at a comically appropriate moment.

* ThisIsMyChair: The Societal Ars students all have their favorite places to sit in the cafeteria, with spots open around them for their seraphs and exousias. There's an unspoken rule that no one can take their seat from them. Also, the Sky Salon, at least, gives every member their own private area, intrusion upon which without permission is very much frowned upon. Misaki points these facts out many times, though no one is shown violating these rules.

* BatmanGambit: A very simple one. Misaki, Himeko, and Angelica know that Saeko values her reputation at the school, even if it's not necessarily the best. They also know that most students won't have heard about Saeko breaking her Seraph contract with Matsuri. This means that when Matsuri accidentally breaks an expensive vase in the Societal Arts building, Himeko and Angelica use these two facts and a little lying (claiming there were witnesses when there were not) to make it sound like Saeko broke her Seraph contract with Matsuri over a simple, if expensive, accident, which would send her reputation into the gutter and shake the very foundation of the school's Seraph system. Saeko sees through the plan but decides to go along with it anyway because she doesn't want to ruin her reputation, restoring Matsuri's Seraph contract permanently. This also has the side effect of making Himeko and Misaki's Seraph contract permanent as well, because Himeko realizes just how bad it would look if she broke her contract with Misaki after a year.

* TemptingFate: Misaki does an excellent job of tempting fate to screw with her at the end of book four. Specifically:
-->''Given how little threat [[spiler:Lutia]] was, I doubt she'll ([[spoiler:Angelica]]) be all that busy.'' \\
In my mind I was so casual about the whole thing. I could never have imagined what was ''really'' going to happen.

* BeautifulDreamer: At the beginning of summer vacation, Misaki, after preparing for the day, watches Himeko sleep, saying that she has a beautiful sleeping face (as well as a beautiful awake face, though she finds it awkward to stare at Himeko while both are awake). Immediately after, however, she gets turned into Himeko's impromptu body pillow for the next half hour, complete with an illustration of Himeko smiling in her sleep with her arms wrapped around a very surprised Misaki's waist.

* CensorSteam: In one illustration of Himeko and Misaki in the bath together, Misaki's chest can't be covered by her hair like Himeko's can, so censor steam is used to hide her naughty bits. Most of the time, however, something else is doing the blocking, like her arms.

Misaki wants to leave when she sees this, but can't because Asuka has invited them to stay for tea and sweet and it would reflect very badly on her, Kirara, and their mistresses if they left before having such.

Fortunately, all is not lost. After a short back and forth about why Misaki is climbing fences, Himeko decides to help her, for her own personal reasons, by making Misaki her personal fake seraph for one year. This golden contract, supposedly unbreakable, means that no one else can take her as their maid, and she is guaranteed employment as a maid in her mistress's household when she graduates. Naturally, getting to be the seraph of one of the most popular girls in school gives her a lot of attention, whether she wants it or not.

* TooMuchInformation: Before Misaki and Kirara can ask Mei about what she did with her first paycheck, she instead starts rattling off random information about her mistress, Asuka, thinking they're after blackmail information. This results in us learning about things like the heart shaped birthmark on her butt among other unnecessary details before they can get her back on track. It's telling about how dedicated she is to her mistress's every detail that they react with frustration instead of becoming disturbed, as Misaki herself notes.
