Premise

[edit]

Philia is the Saint of her kingdom Ziltonia and engaged to the second prince, Julius Ziltonia. However, Julius sold her to the neighboring kingdom of Parnacorta, who lost their own Saint recently. To her shock, Philia finds she has been overworking herself and that a saint truly doesn't need to take care of all of the kingdom's problems; unless consulted.

Back in Ziltonia, the country has started falling apart as no one has actually needed to do their jobs properly as Philia was doing too much. Doom is creeping closer for them.

Characters

[edit]
Philia Adenauer (フィリア・アデナウアー, Firia Adenauā)
Voiced by: Yui Ishikawa[3]
A ridiculously competent Saint who pretty much ran Ziltonia by covering for all the issues. Having never been given emotional support by her parents, Philia is stoic but compassionate. Always working too hard, Philia never had time for hobbies nor preference; she just ate and slept robotically.
After turning herself into the core of a barrier to repel demons, Philia spends her time training the next Saint of Parnacorta.
Mia Adenauer (ミア・アデナウアー, Mia Adenauā)
Voiced by: Kaede Hondo[4]
Younger sister of Philia and less experienced Saint. She worships her sister and loathes Julius along with her parents for how poorly they have treated Philia. To get revenge on them, Mia fakes accepting his marriage proposal; part of her plan to force the first prince into taking the throne.
She experiences the pathetic side of Julius when he cowers accompanying her on an excursion that results in demons attacking.
Oswald Parnacorta (オスヴァルト・パルナコルタ, Osuvaruto Parunakoruta)
Voiced by: Takuya Satō[4]
Second prince with a hobby of farming. He tries to befriend Philia and help her open up; seeing she needs to experience what it actually means to live her life.
Julius Ziltonia (ユリウス・ジルトニア, Yuriusu Jirutonia)
Voiced by: Kōhei Amasaki[4]
The second prince. Simply put he is a selfish, petty, manchild; not even being aware that Philia did most of the work for the entirety of the kingdom and that Mia is inadequate to properly replace her.
He sold off Philia because her medicine was healing his father; wishing for him and his brother to die, so he can rule unopposed. Just a short time after Philia is gone, the kingdom begins falling apart; he has no clue how to run it.
Reyhart Parnacorta (ライハルト・パルナコルタ, Raiharuto Parunakoruta)
Voiced by: Shinnosuke Tachibana[5]
First prince and fiancee of the deceased Saint of Parnacorta. He visits her grave regularly.
Lina (リーナ, Rīna)
Voiced by: Sora Tokui[5]
Maid assigned to Philia in Parnacorta. She has combat experience with knives. Lina lends Philia books to help her learn how to interact with other people.
Leonardo (レオナルド, Reonarudo)
Voiced by: Ken Narita[5]
Butler assigned to Philia in Parnacorta. Much like Lina, he is shocked that his mistress has no concept of proper rest and overworked herself before moving to Parnacorta.
Himari (ヒマリ)
Voiced by: Kanna Nakamura[5]
Another servant assigned to Philia. Himari is a ninja with excellent stealth skills. Philia asked her to look after Mia; resulting in Himari helping Mia with her revenge plans.
Grace Martilas (グレイス・マーティラス, Gureisu Mātirasu)
Voiced by: Shu Uchida[6]
Fernando Ziltonia (フェルナンド・ジルトニア, Ferunando Jirutonia)
Voiced by: Kazuyuki Okitsu[6]
Hildegarde Adenauer (ヒルデガルト・アデナウアー, Hirudegaruto Adenauā)
Voiced by: Miki Itō[6]
Georg Adenauer (ゲオルグ・アデナウアー, Georugu Adenauā)
Voiced by: Kentarō Itō[6]
Cornelia Adenauer (コルネリア・アデナウアー, Koruneria Adenauā)
Voiced by: Sayaka Ohara[6]
Pierre (ピエール, Piēru)
Voiced by: Yuya Murakami[6]
Elsa Nautilus (エルザ・ノーティス, Eruza Nōtisu)
Voiced by: Ikue Ōtani[7]

1"The Saint Who Never Smiled"
Transliteration: "Warawanai Seijo" (Japanese: 笑わない聖女)		Jun TakahashiKeiichirō ŌchiShuu Watanabe & Suizokuen AsagayaApril 10, 2025 (2025-04-10)

In a world infested by monsters humanity's only salvation are Saints, women who wield holy magic to drive the monsters out and purify the land. The greatest living Saint, Philia Adenauer, lives in Girtonia Kingdom and serves its people well. Unfortunately, she is incapable of smiling which makes people uncomfortable. Girtonia's second Saint is Mia, Philia's little sister who possesses such a sweet smile she is beloved by the whole kingdom.

In private, Philia is miserable. Her power has attracted powerful enemies who resent her success. She also lives with her hyper-critical parents who openly prefer Mia. For several years Philia has been engaged to Prince Julius, an arrogant, selfish man. Philia and Mia are very close and adore spending time together. Julius conspires with her parents to end their engagement in favour of marrying Mia. Julius also secretly sells Philia to the Parnacorta Kingdom whose Saint recently died. Overcome by grief but unable to argue, Philia departs without being allowed to say goodbye to Mia. Julius begins plotting to seize Girtonia's throne once his ill father dies. After a long journey Philia is abandoned at the border and told she must walk the rest of the way. To her surprise, rather than the life of slavery she was expecting, she is given a royal welcome by Parnacorta's prince.
2"Welcome to Parnacorta"
Transliteration: "Yōkoso Parunakoruta e" (Japanese: ようこそパルナコルタへ)		Michita ShiraishiKeiichirō ŌchiTetsuo HirakawaApril 17, 2025 (2025-04-17)
In capital city Almburg the bishop Bjorn welcomes Philia with a party. Second Prince Osvalt apologises for buying her, but Parnacorta was desperate after the death of Saint Elizabeth, and swears to make Philia so happy she falls in love with Parnacorta. First Prince Reichardt is also glad to see her, though Philia is certain they are eager to put her to work. Philia is confused to receive a mansion with butler Leonardo and maid Lena. Philia learns monster attacks have increased since Elizabeth's death so she wakes up early as normal, surprising Leonardo and Lena, and drives out a monster nest in the mountains. Lena and Leonardo accompany her to protect her, though Philia is certain they are judging her usefulness. In reality, they are amazed at how much work Philia does in a single day. Philia is confused, since her mother and Julius always told her constant hard work was her duty. Lena and Leonardo conclude Philia has been mistreated badly in Girtonia, since in every other kingdom Saints are afforded the same respect as nobility. Parnacorta's citizens are soon praising Philia's name as monsters disappear and merchants start trading again. Mia is devastated by Philia's absence and swears to discover who is responsible since her father lied to her about Philia's decision about leaving the country. Julius discovers Philia had been solely responsible for exterminating all the monsters, and without her his soldiers are unable to stop them attacking everywhere.
3"Our First Date"
TBATBATBAApril 24, 2025 (2025-04-24)
Osvalt takes Philia on a tour of Almburg and Philia feels her heart racing. Philia is confused Osvalt asks her personal questions, since she never had time to develop personal interests. Her research leads her to believe the Demon Realm is approaching the surface. This happened 400 years ago when the demon Asmodeus invaded. Had it not been for Arch-Saint Fianna Aesfill defeating him Asmodeus would have destroyed the world. Philia fears being ridiculed for suggesting such a thing without evidence, so she is surprised when Osvalt authorises extra funds to the military. She suggests casting a Great Purification Circle over Parnacorta, which would weaken monsters instead of keeping them out, allowing the military to kill them. The drawback is Philia would have to stay in Almburg at the circle’s centre, leaving her unable to work. Once again, she is surprised when Osvalt agrees to this, claiming she needs time to relax anyway. Philia worries about Mia protecting Girtonia on her own, so she sends a letter with helpful advice. Mia is disgusted when Julius proposes to her and realises he must have conspired with her parents. She delays answering his proposal, planning to manipulate him into admitting his guilt. Her parents intercept the letter from Philia and burn it without reading it. Mia finds evidence of her parents sudden increase in wealth and eventually confirms Julius sold Philia to another kingdom. With his guilt confirmed, Mia accepts Julius’ proposal, planning to plunge him into the depths of absolute despair.
