Synopsis
アスカム子爵家長女、アデル・フォン・アスカムは、１０歳になったある日、強烈な頭痛と共に全てを思い出した. 自分が以前、栗原海里（くりはらみさと）という名の１８歳の日本人であったこと、幼い少女を助けようとして命を落としたこと、そして、神様に出会ったことを…….

少々出来が良過ぎたために周りの期待が大きく、思うように生きることができなかった海里は、望みを尋ねる神様にこうお願いしたのであった. 『次の人生、能力は平均値でお願いします！』

なのに、何だか話が違うよ！

３つの名前を持つ少女、うっかりＳ級ハンターなんかにならないように気を付けて、普通に生きて行きます. だって、私はごく普通の、平凡な女の子なんだからね. いや、ホント.
