The S-Rank Costume Error

Kaede keeps finding the same red-circled roster in her satchel, and every time she opens it, she remembers that someone at work handed her the wrong life. She knows cloth, seams, and old dress marks better than most historians, so she can read records other people leave untouched. That skill makes her useful at the academy and puts her too close to Mio, the archive clerk who notices every lie in a costume and every shake in a hand. Kaede tries to stay calm while a hero's power sits inside her by mistake, but the person who got her ordinary life is also hunting for a way back. The hair comb on her table keeps moving between them, and each return makes the distance harder to keep.
