So many things have happened since Urano began a new life as Myne. At first she was a simple commoner, then became an apprentice shrine maiden, and was ultimately thrown into the world of nobility as Rozemyne, the adopted daughter of an archduke! But... what about everyone else?

This short story collection is packed with previously unpublished chapters from a plethora of unique perspectives taking place during Parts 1 through 4. Explore the lower city, the orphanage, the temple, the Royal Academy, and many other locations further afield than ever before. What do those in Myne's (or Rozemyne's) circle think about her actions? And what's happening in the places that she can't see? Find out in this collection of twenty-one tales, including behind-the-scenes notes from author Miya Kazuki and even more four-panel manga by You Shiina!
