Megumi Fujiboma, a boy who met an untimely end, awakens to find himself reincarnated as the heir of the prestigious Fujiboma household, one of the three main branches of the revered Boma clan.

Remaining calm under the pressure of his possible impending doom, he allowed himself to fall to the ground and caught himself in time with his right hand. And with a great twist, he swung his hips, pushing himself up from the ground with as much force as he could muster.
