Synopsis
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…….
 * -|Japanese=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.

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.
 * -|English=When Viscount Ascham’s House’s eldest daughter, Adele von Ascham, became 10 years old, she remembered everything with an intense headache. Her previous self, Kurihara Misato, 18 years old Japanese, lost her life when trying to help a young girl, and then she met God… A somewhat capable person burdened by the many expectations of the surrounding people, Misato, who couldn’t live as she wanted, pleaded to God.

“In the next life, please make my abilities average!”

Yet, somehow the story is wrong! The girl with 3 names, being careful to not accidentally become a S-rank hunter, lives normally. I mean, I’m just an average, common girl. No, seriously.
