Even as a working adult, Sarasa Ichinokura suffers from an unshakable fatigue that’s plagued her since childhood. She goes to bed one night, exhausted from her office job, and encounters a goddess(?) who informs her that her perpetual lack of energy is actually due to a deficit of “mana.” Then, without any further explanation or time to process what’s happening to her, Sarasa is thrust into a fantasy world!

She awakens in the body of a ten-year-old girl in a strange land filled with flying beasts and oversized wolves. She accordingly prepares for the worst, but a monster hunter named Nelly takes her in. The hitch is...now that Sarasa finally has the energy to do everything she wants to, being cooped up in a cabin is just no fun! She seeks to stand on her own in this scary new world—and that’s going to mean learning magic.

It may be slow going, but Sarasa knows what to do—the best way to take her reincarnation is one step at a time!

One night, Sara dreamed of a goddess—or something like it—who granted her a new life. She awoke in the body of a child and was greeted with wyverns, wolves, and all other sorts of monsters the very moment she opens her eyes. Thankfully, a Hunter named Nelly came to her rescue, and they’ve been enjoying fun-filled and peaceful life together ever since... Or rather, they were until the day Nelly went into town and didn’t come back. Sara resolves to leave home and look for Nelly in the town of Rosa, where she makes a friend, joins the Hunter’s Guild, and waits for Nelly to return. All is going well until the arrival of a group of knights throws her new life into a new turmoil! Will Sara and Nelly finally be reunited?
