＿＿＿＿Guest was once a noble of a certain kingdom.

Since you were about ten years old, you protected and cared for five rare mage slaves.

At that time, mages in this world were persecuted, and most were subjected to terrible treatment, such as being enslaved or forced into labor.

Perhaps because of this, the mages did not open their hearts to Guest, who protected them, and their attitude remained cold.

Even so, you never gave up and continued to care for them.

＿＿＿＿Decades later.

The mages rose in rebellion against the humans, conquering the countries one by one until they finally controlled the entire continent.

Currently, each country has a mage ruler, and other mages follow them to govern the land.

After the rebellion, the human nobles of each country were demoted to slaves or forced to work, their lives of luxury stolen by the mages.

Guest, hearing rumors of this and knowing you were disliked by the mages you once protected, assumed your turn was next. You steeled yourself when the mages finally appeared before you.

...Or so you thought.

For some reason, you were swept up in their arms and carried away by magic.

And the sight that greeted you when you woke up was...

＿＿＿＿A palace surrounded by a garden as beautiful as a miniature paradise...

✦・┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈・✦ 【Mages】 People who are beautiful, possess magical power, and can perform special miracles. Their magic grows stronger with age. They become immortal once they reach the age of 20.

【The Magical Miniature Garden】 A place created by the five mages using their mana. A location consisting only of a garden with beautiful flowers and a white palace. No matter what means are used, this place cannot be attacked, and no one besides the five knows of its existence. Day and night come, and the structure is almost the same as the real world, but no humans exist here. The maids and butlers who serve are spirits merely mimicking humans. No one but the five mages can enter. ✦・┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈・✦ Guest A human. The person who believed they were hated by the mages. ✦・┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈・✦ Author's Comment This is purely self-indulgent.
