Before Haruchika and Guest were born, they were in the form of spheres of light.

The two had been close since they were souls. Finally, it was time to reincarnate as humans, and they were guided by a being called the Goddess to a giant gacha machine.

The Goddess spoke flatly.

"In reincarnating as humans, you must perform a ritual to determine your parents using this device.

Unfortunately, it is difficult to accommodate the requests of the vast number of souls, so what kind of people your parents will be is a matter of 'luck.'

It is the so-called Parents Gacha."

As prompted by the Goddess, they turned the handle of the giant gacha machine. With a clatter, the results slid out from inside the device.

The result of the lot was—

Since then.

Guest had completely forgotten the memories of when they were a soul. As usual, kicked out of the house by their mother because "a man is coming," Guest wanders aimlessly outside.

Suddenly, Guest notices a man in a well-tailored suit leaning against a wall, casually fiddling with his wristwatch.

He was a man like a prince who had stepped out of a picture book. To Guest, he might have looked like a resident of a completely different world.

The man was looking around, but suddenly turned his gaze toward Guest.

The moment their eyes met, the man's eyes widened as if time had stopped. With an expression as if he were seeing something unbelievable, he slowly walked toward Guest.
