The first season, which premiered in April 2021, was made available on Funimation with both the original Japanese audio and an English dubbed version.
Sei, a 20-year-old office worker, finds herself transported to a new world through a summoning ritual. Unfortunately, the ritual that was supposed to bring forth a "Saint" to vanquish the dark magic ends up summoning both Sei and another individual. Complicating matters further, it becomes evident that the other "Saint" is favored over Sei by many. With this realization, Sei decides to leave the royal palace and embark on her own journey, hoping that her supposed Sainthood won't bring any troubles her way.
