Kanzaki Misuzu is going about her day when she finds herself transported to a strange fantasy world. She also finds that she can access popups telling her about the things that she looks at and even herself. Kanzaki goes on to realize that she has extremely powerful healing magic, which makes her a highly valuable party member in this strange new world. Kanzaki is one of the few isekai protagonists who is actually interested in going back home, so she resolves to make her way in this world and find the secret to opening a portal back to earth.

This work contains examples of:

  • And Now You Must Marry Me: This is the main reason Kanzaki was called to the other world.
  • Arranged Marriage: Defied by Kanzaki, who refuses to accept the Church's attempt at betrothing her to a Son of Gaia.
  • Corrupt Church: There is one dominant religion in the setting and factions within it try to keep Gaia's Children, gifted mages like Kanzaki, under their control.
  • Distressed Dude: Kanzaki is not the first kidnapping victim despite not being much of a fighter: People who want to see if she's a Daughter of Gaia kidnap and severely injure one of her friends in order to lure her to them.
  • A Form You Are Comfortable With: Due to being an immortal, transcendent entity beyond understanding. Gaia takes the form of the "White Healer" Liliam when he appears before Kanzaki to talk to her about her role in the other world.
  • Gilded Cage: This is the fate of any of Gaia's Children who wind up in the care of the Church.
  • Genre Savvy: When the first two people that Kanzaki meets introduce themselves with fake names, Kanzaki does the exact same by giving herself the name Reene. This saves her down the line because the fact that no one knows her actual name means that they can't take complete control of her.
  • I Know Your True Name: People can be forced to do almost anything if they make a magical pact swearing upon their name, and pacts made under duress still count. Luckily, very few people in this new world know Kanzaki's real name and the few who do don't know how to pronounce it due to how different Japanese is from the native language.
  • Super-Empowering: After Kanzaki finally meets the Demon Lord in person and gives him a name, he bestows her the "Demon Lords Blessing". Which enhances her magic far beyond what it was before and makes even her weakest spells incredibly dangerous and destructive if she isn't careful.
