The original story is a Japanese light novel series written by Zappon and illustrated by Yasumo. It began serialization online in October 2017 on the user-generated novel publishing website Shōsetsuka ni Narō.

The story depicts the peaceful and happy daily lives of Red. Rit and Ruty and their friends live in the city of Zoltan after being betrayed by the Hero's party.

Here are the comments from Yui Nishio and Daijiro from JYOCHO!

“I am very happy to be able to continue to work on the opening theme of the series, following the 1st season. In the ED theme song of 1st season, I depicted the slow life of Rit and Red. This 2nd season is about Ruty as the main character. I named the song "routine life" to reflect the overlap between Ruty's second life and our own lives. I hope you will enjoy the song along with the anime in your daily life.”
- Yui Nishio

“The story is about Ruty's new life as she grows up, and while the main focus is on Ruty and Van. On the other hand, I like Red's role as a "Guide" in the series.
That is why I chose the title of this work as "導き、捧げて(Guide and Devote).

I think there are days when you have to make a detour to a station where you are born with a predetermined fate and ties.
I want to go forward believing in the direction of my own prayer and hope, even if it is not beautiful to the people around me! This is what I wanted to express in the song. 

It is a bright, pop song of hope, and I hope you will enjoy it.“
-Daijiro from JYOCHO
