Salarywoman Ikutsu Midori died from overwork at only 27 years of age. At the moment of her death, a deity approaches her with a proposal: to reincarnate in the world of Asdylon and tip the balance of a conflict between humans and other species, in exchange for a special ability. Midori wants one thing and one only… to be surrounded by all kinds of cute animals she can fluff and pet to her heart’s content. Not quite understanding her wish, the deity grants her the power to be loved by any non-human creature in the world.

Thus she is reborn as Nefertima, the youngest daughter of the noble Orphe family. As promised, every animal she comes across happily approaches her… but it turns out, that also includes mythical beasts like sacred tigers and even dragons. This could be a much more powerful ability than it appears, and invite more trouble than she ever intended…
