It's something like a typical sci-fi story that pretends to be a story of love and courage that pretends to be a bright and cheerful buddy action story set in the near future, which in the end is surely a story of love and such things— the girl with flowing silver hair says with a laugh. On June 5, 2002, a part of the city called Tokyo suddenly disappeared. This is a near-future buddy action story between Takumu Azekura, a mediator who solves troubles between earthlings and aliens, and a strange silver-haired visitor called Melinoë.

Leila, a down-on-her-luck noblewoman, gets a helping hand from her first love, Silvester, a wealthy soldier, by entering into a contract marriage. They have been a couple for three years now, without having even having consummated the marriage. Leila expects her husband to divorce her at any time, but he is attacked by an assailant and loses his memory of their arrangement due to his injuries. "My wife is so beautiful,” he says, "It makes me want you so much.” Having lost his memory, Silvester begins to dote on Leila with sweet, seductive words. (Source: Sankosha, translated)

“Why do you keep making me misunderstand you like this!? My affection level can’t go any higher than this, you know!?” (← said by the princess with the greatest beauty in the kingdom) The puppy-like beautiful girl sitting next to me who’s grown attached to me… turns out she’s actually a princess. I'm Heim, and I enrolled as a scholarship student in a magic academy full of nobles. Unbothered by being looked down on as a commoner, I devoted myself to honing my magic—until one day, I accidentally learned the national secret of the princess’s true identity. While carrying this secret, I end up pretending to be her lover to protect her from the arrogant nobles targeting her. “Heim-kun, I want to be with you! I want to, I want to, I want to, I want to!” Alone together, close enough to touch with homemade bentos. In front of me alone, the princess’s demeanor grows sweeter and sweeter— A royally sugary love comedy begins! (Source: Kadokawa, translated)
