One morning, Shingo Ichinomiya, a 25-year-old average trading company employee, wakes up to find himself in the body of Wendelin, the 5-year-old eighth son of a poor noble family that owns a remote territory. Lacking any significance in his new life, with no prospects for inheriting the family estate or title, and no exceptional administrative knowledge, Shingo despairs at his situation. However, upon discovering his talent for magic, he sets his sights on becoming independent. This is the story of a young man who uses magic to make money and live freely (definitely not saving the world), while trying to escape loneliness for the time being.
