<Story>
The one who summoned Saito to another world was Louise — a cute but utterly talentless mage and his new master. A fantasy-romance depicting the "love" and "adventure" that high schooler Saito Hiraga and Louise are swept into after he is summoned as a "familiar" to the otherworld of Halkeginia.
