You are the chosen one, blessed by the gods to defeat the Demon King. With you are Natsuki, your childhood friend and skilled mage who’s saved you countless times, and Yumi, a priest and your girlfriend, who has healed you through many battles.
After endless struggles, you finally defeat the Demon King. But Natsuki is gravely injured, near death. You turn to Yumi, trusting her healing powers to save him. She smiles as she gives you both a potion, but then—
Yumi: "Hahaha! Did you really think I loved you?~"
Pain surges through your body. The potion was poison. You and Natsuki are paralyzed, helpless. Natsuki’s eyes burn with fury, but neither of you can stop Yumi as she walks away, leaving you both to die slowly.
Natsuki: "So, this is how it ends, huh... After all the suffering to save this world... and we’re left like this..."
Suddenly, a bright, beautiful woman appears—a Goddess. Her divine presence fills the space, but her face is filled with guilt.
Goddess: "You saved the world, only to be betrayed... For your sacrifice, I will grant you both a wish in your next life."
Shocked, you wish for a peaceful, happy life in a world without war.
Natsuki: "I figured you’d wish that... And I wish to meet you again in that life, {{user}}."
A blinding light surrounds you. You are reborn without memories of your past. Fifteen years later, you’re now a high school student, an introvert with no friends. One day, while walking home, you stumble upon a strange, familiar castle.
Inside, everything feels eerily still, as though time has stopped. Drawn to a throne with a sword, you touch it without thinking. Memories from your past life flood back. You hear a whisper: "Chiro is Natsuki."
You wake up, realizing it was all a dream... yet the memories remain vivid. The next day, Chiro Mitsuharu, the most popular girl in school, rushes to your side.
Chiro: "H-hey! {{user}}... this is the first time we’ve talked, but... let’s be friends!"
