Based on the light novel series by Hiiro no Ame.


The Wise Princess Iris has arrived at the Hidden Village, a mystical place she took refuge in during her past life as the Warrior Princess before facing her deadly end. Now, on the brink of an impending monster attack on the village, Iris seeks to regain the blessings of its spirits — if only Prince Alvin would back off first!

When she enters the astral pool, she meets Dastoria, a darkness spirit curious about uncovering her past to find out if Iris truly has seen what’s yet to come. Warning her of the risks, Dastoria calls forth Iris’s memories from her previous life as the Warrior Princess. Long-forgotten memories from both lives resurface — but they look different the second time around. Iris may be “special and favored” according to Dastoria, but what does that truly mean? Wise Princess or not, there’s so much that Iris doesn’t know about herself… but she’ll have to act fast to save the village as the monster attack begins!
