Dead of overwork at age 27...

Thus Midori reincarnated in her new world as a young girl named Nefertima, with a power that causes her to be loved by all living things other than humans.

Nefertima is determined to do her best to coexist with humans and all living creatures in her new life of petting and patting cute animals!
