Synopsis

A 27-year-old office lady, Midori Akitsu, abruptly dies from overwork just after returning home. In her life, her greatest passion was to touch and pet fluffy animals; after her sudden death, a god offers to restore her in another world, where her wish will come true.

Midori is reborn as a little girl named Nefeltima Osphe (Néma for short) in the world of Asdyllon, which is inhabited by humans and fantastic creatures. The humans, however, violently discriminate against their non-human cohabitants, and therefore God leaves her with the choice to decide whether or not they deserve to be wiped out. He grants Néma the ability to attract the affection of non-human beings, which she uses to befriend a number of animals and mythological creatures.

1"Nobody Told Me This Would Happen!"
Transcription: "Kono Tenkai wa Kītenai!" (Japanese: この展開は聞いてない！)		TBATBATBAJanuary 7, 2024 (2024-01-07)
Midori Akitsu, a young Japanese office lady, abruptly collapses and dies right after returning home from work. A deity grants her the chance to be reincarnated in the world of Asdyllon, in order to judge whether its human population, who persecute non-humans, deserve to be eliminated. In return for this service, God grants Midori a special ability; and having longed to pet fluffy animals all life long, Midori gains the ability to attract the affection of non-humans. Midori is reborn as Néma Opshe, a duke's daughter, with the memories of her old life intact. When Néma is three years old, her mother takes her to her workplace at the royal palace, where she encounters and befriends Lars, the royal family's Sky Tiger pet, and Wilhert, the kingdom's crown prince. Another day, she and her parents visit the Royal Academy attended by her older siblings, where she finds that Wilhert and her older brother Ralph are schoolmates. When her sister Kanadia undergoes a test for her magical abilities and accidentally summons a Fire Dragon, Néma impulsively jumps into the arena to shield the dragon from getting attacked.
2"I've Been Summoned"
Transcription: "Yobidashi Kuraimashita" (Japanese: 呼び出しくらいました)		TBATBATBAJanuary 14, 2024 (2024-01-14)
To everyone's utter amazement, Néma not only calms down the fire dragon, whose name is Sol, to give him pats, but he also chooses to form a pact with her when she is old enough and gifts her with a magical jewel before leaving peacefully. This incident leads to an audience and inquiry by the royal family, and it is determined that a divine influence must have called Sol to the arena. Therefore, the nobles of the royal court begin planning to use Néma to call upon the Holy Beasts' favor and thus make the realm prosper. The next day, Néma meets Gwynn Field, a captain of the Royal Guard, and his competitor Dan Yates, captain of the Royal Dragon Knights, and is taken to the royal dragon stables. Wishing to pet one of the dragons, Néma uses Sol's jewel to attract their attention, and their pack leader, Ghizel, befriends her, to Gwynn and Dan's supreme puzzlement.
