Releasing the novel in English, J-Novel Club describes the story as follows: “Zagan is feared as an evil sorcerer. Both socially awkward and foulmouthed, he spends his days studying sorcery while beating down any trespassers within his domain. One day, he’s invited to a dark auction, and what he finds there is a beautiful elven slave girl, Nephy.”

The synopsis continues, “Having fallen in love at first sight, Zagan uses up his entire fortune to purchase her. But being a poor conversationalist, he has no idea how to properly interact with her. Thus, the awkward cohabitation of a sorcerer who has no idea how to convey his love and his slave who yearns for her master but has no idea how to appeal to him begins.”
