＜Synopsis
--One morning, Shingo Ichinomiya (25), an ordinary young trading company employee, wakes up and finds himself possessed by Vendelin (5), the eighth son of an impoverished noble family with a fiefdom in a remote area, a child whose very existence is questionable. Shingo is a child of dubious significance.
Shingo despairs of himself and his lack of knowledge of domestic politics and warriors without inheritance, but he aims for independence with one breakthrough: he is blessed with a talent for magic.
This story is about such a young man who earns money with magic and lives freely (without saving the world, of course), and for the time being, he is out of the boondocks.
It is also a story about how you can't escape from the fences (ties) that occur in human life after all. ......

The story is about a man who can't escape from the fences that occur in human life after all.
