The manga’s story centers on Shinonome Hajime, an adventurer and experienced dungeon delver. When he saves a girl named Rirui from being devoured by a slime monster, he finds out that the girl has been abandoned by her parents and has nowhere else to go. Unable to abandon the girl himself, he decides to take her in, and finds out that she is no normal girl.
Nara launched the manga in Kodansha‘s Bessatsu Shōnen Magazine in January 2016. Kodansha published the manga’s 20th compiled book volume on September 9. The manga is also available on the Magazine Pocket service.
