Story Summary

A 25-year-old salaryman named Kazuhiro Kitase has always had weird dreams about visiting a magical realm.

He meets Marie, an elf girl with a gift for spirit magic, while on one of his excursions. But a supernatural event transports Marie to Kazuhiro’s actual Japan!

Now, while keeping Marie’s presence a secret, Kazuhiro has to introduce her to contemporary Japanese life, including trains and convenience stores.

Their “reverse isekai” narrative is told with humor, touching moments, and much of cultural shock!

Character Highlights

The main guy, Kazuhiro, is your typical overworked office worker—but his double life makes things interesting!

And Marie? What’s her deal?

Kazuhiro Kitase (北瀬一廣, Kitase Kazuhiro) / Kazuhiho (カズヒホ)

When he falls asleep on Earth, a 25-year-old Japanese salaryman who has been doing so since infancy often enters a fantasy realm.

He is still 15 years old and an Illusory Swordsman who is traveling with Marie in the alternate reality, where he names himself Kazuhiho (a spelling error from his youth) and matures far more slowly.

He only understands that the other world is real and that he can use his shifting power on other people after he and Marie are fire-blasted by a dragon and Marie unexpectedly shows up at his side in Japan.

The capacity to create illusions, travel via another dimension to cross distances quickly, and a variety of languages he picked up are some of his unique abilities in the other world.

However, except for food, he is not able to take any items to either world during his shifts. He has a crush on Marie.

Marie (マリー, Marī) / Mariabelle (マリアーベル, Mariāberu)

A 102-year-old Elven Spirit Sorcerer, a longstanding traveling companion of Kazuhiro after she had murdered him during their first encounter, and a competent arcane and spirit magic practitioner.

They are caught and pelted with dragon fire when they break into a dragon’s cave to see its eggs.

In an effort to protect her, Kazuhiro gives her a hug, but mistakenly transports her back to Earth,

where she falls in love with most of the novelty of its culture, especially the cuisine. She eventually develops feelings for Kazuhiro as well.

Wridra (ウリドラ, Uridora)

By transferring her mind onto a body that was regurgitated from her draconic self, an ancient female Arkdragon may transform into an almost human shape.

She took offense and murdered Kazuhiro and Marie when they invaded her cave to inspect her eggs, which led to Marie and Kazuhiro being relocated to Earth for the first time.

Following their return, the two are able to appease Wridra by presenting her with Japanese cuisine and malt beer.

Wridra first pays them with her own scales and blood—both of which are incredibly potent and uncommon magic ingredients—and then she chooses to travel to Earth as well.
