story

Tetsudaito, a first-year student at Miyasaka High School, had given up the illusion that he was the main character in life and was living an ordinary life. However, nine years ago, he met a non-human girl, Saito Himea, and made a "promise" with her. Because of that "promise," Himea was held captive for 78,840 hours. While Taito lost his memory of Himea and was living an ordinary life, a conspiracy surrounding Himea began to unfold. Various characters stand in Taito's way, including the student council president, Kouzuki Kou, who has extraordinary magical powers, and the lightning demon Ando Mirei, who was bound to Kouzuki by a kiss. Taito has an immortal body that cannot die unless he is killed "seven times every 15 minutes," and the moment he remembered his "promise" with Himea, his ordinary daily life began to become greatly distorted. In order to keep that "promise," which is heavier than death, he throws himself into an unimaginable battle.
