Synopsis

Wait — I'm a squirrel? How? Why? When did this happen? She wakes up to find herself transformed into a squirrel — and not just any squirrel, but an extraordinarily rare "divine beast" capable of soothing a mage's wild magical energy. The problem is, she was definitely human before. To turn back, she needs to accumulate a steady store of magical power — and she knows just the right person for the job: Johan Hairad, a gentle and seemingly innocent young man who is destined to become a terrifying villain one day. Every night she visits him, offering acorns and affectionate head pats while quietly absorbing his enormous reserves of magic. But then he starts saying things like, "My squirrel," and, "Don't go anywhere dangerous when I'm not around — I can't protect you if you do." Hang on. Since when did that happen? This boy who is supposed to grow up into a monster is acting very, very strange.
