One day, he returns home and mistakenly thinks that his little brother has been kidnapped by his next-door neighbor, Tsujido.

Until she wakes up and finds she’s been reincarnated a thousand years in the future. Not only that, but the body she’s transmigrated into belongs to a truly pitiful woman despised even by her own family. There are many things for Leticiel to be angry about, but number one on her list: Why is magic in the future so lame?
