During the required first-year familiar summoning ritual, Louise's attempt produces a massive explosion. Everyone dismisses it as another failure, but when the smoke clears, Saito Hiraga appears. He is treated like a slave, forced to clean Louise's clothes and eat off the floor.

Fifteen years ago, Dark Schneider, a sorcerer of immense and merciless power, aimed to dominate the world with his army led by the Four Divine Kings. He was ultimately defeated and imprisoned within the body of a newborn infant.
