Ever since she could remember, strange yet incredibly cool fragments of memories would occasionally pop into Xia Mei's mind.
When she was five, she saw the full grandeur of her family's magnificent castle nestled between mountains and sea for the first time. A flash of inspiration struck, and she cried excitedly, "This is the Magic Fairy Castle of my dreams! I'm the future Magic Fairy Queen!"
"Behold the power of my Moon Prism, unlock! Open heart... turn into a pig!"
Years later, Dosto, who had actually been transformed into a little pig by this cobbled-together spell: "Oink? Oink oink?! Oink oink oink!!!"

When she was seven, a battered red sword appeared in the sky over Kanagawa. It kept shedding debris and looked like it was about to fall. Xia Mei was building a sandcastle on the beach when death warnings started going off in her head, going biu biu biu. Thinking fast, she shouted, "I'll use the holy sword to sever this Sword of the Underworld!" She grabbed the sand shovel at her feet and pointed it at the giant sword. "Take this... Excalibur!"
That day, a golden beam of sword light came from the horizon and smashed the falling Sword of the Red King. Xia Mei cheered, dropped her shovel, and went back to building her sandcastle. For more than a decade afterward, the whole world failed to find the unknown Transcendent capable of severing the power of kings.

When she was eleven, a huge explosion went off in the Yokohama base in the middle of the night, waking Xia Mei from her sleep. Thinking a meteor had fallen, she went to investigate out of curiosity and found a little boy with orange hair and blue eyes in the crater. Orange hair and blue eyes... She suddenly slapped her palm. "I get it! So you're not human, young man. You're a member of the strongest race in the universe, the Yato!" She extended a heartfelt invitation. "Join us, young man! Our journey is among the stars and across the sea of stars!"
Chuya shuddered: I-is that so?! No wonder... And the stars, the vast sea of stars... It sounds amazing!

The Magic Fairy Queen (not really) and her loyal wolfdog bodyguard (nope) are actually a bug-level chuunibyou and a sweet Arahabaki who has been thoroughly conned. Together, they make for a ridiculous daily life.
Reader's guide:
1. One-on-one romance. Silly story. Character derailment warning. Logic is dead, so don't overanalyze.
