The Story Begins
Mio, an apprentice saint from a commoner background, was used poorly by her senior saint and was living a life similar to a slave. The Crown Prince feels that Mio is an eyesore and orders her to be thrown away. The soldiers take those words at face value, and Mio ends up being thrown into a trash can. However, for Mio, who has the ability to "fix" things, the trash can is a treasure trove that she can recycle as much as she wants.
The Turning Point
The story begins when a former S-class adventurer, who has fallen down due to an injury, gets drunk and stumbles upon Mio's trash can. This chance encounter sets off a chain of events that will change Mio's life forever. With her ability to fix things and her new friend by her side, Mio starts to build a new life, one that is filled with purpose and meaning. As she navigates her new surroundings, Mio discovers that there is more to life than being a saint, and that sometimes, the most unexpected places can hold the greatest treasures.
