Megumi Fujiboma, a boy who met an untimely end, awakens to find himself reincarnated as the heir of the prestigious Fujiboma household, one of the three main branches of the revered Boma clan.

They walked into the castle's courtyard, gently wrapped around by the cloister, which opened up to a picturesque garden in the middle—a serene oasis amidst the castle's stone walls, perched with vibrant flowers and winding paths. 


In the middle of the garden stood the statue of a woman, crafted from obsidian stone, crowned with multiple gems sitting on her head and her palms opened wide, gently arching toward the sky.
