Story

Step into a tale of parallel universes…

Iris hails from a world identical to Earth in the early 2000s, referred to as World DE-1. Her arrival sparked a chain reaction of unfortunate events that eventually became untangled thanks to the diligent work of Arata Mizunashi and his colleagues.

After mending her relationships, Iris duplicated the World DE-1 and named it World DE-1.5. There, conflicts transformed into friendships, everyone functioning harmoniously like gears in a well-oiled machine within an ideal world. However, a fresh predicament is looming over the tranquility…

As a devoted admirer, I find myself compelled to share an intriguing revelation: A figure shrouded in enigma has stepped into the limelight, accompanied by a band of individuals who bear an uncanny resemblance to our previous legendary heroes. In this whirlwind of turmoil, where loyalties are unclear and adversaries blend with allies, I stand tall as Sayaka Hiwatari, ready to face the escalating chaos head-on.

And so the battle with another world enters a new phase…
