In a twist of fate, the overseer responsible for safeguarding Earth grapples with a disruption, inadvertently leading to Kaoru Nagase’s detachment from her corporeal form. What unfolds next is a predicament where the sole recourse lies in transporting her to a less technologically advanced realm.
Unyielding to this capricious outcome, Kaoru lays down a condition: the ability to concoct elixirs at will, endowed with tailored effects. Yet, her aspirations don’t halt there. A magical Item Box, the knack to comprehend and converse in all languages, and the youthful physique of her fifteen-year-old self are also on her wishlist.
