Plot

Asahi Homura is an ordinary high school student who got reincarnated into another world to defeat a demon lord. Unfortunately, she is forced to deal with the antics of four other reincarnators who are each far from normal—an assassin, a mad scientist, a robot, and a living bioweapon. However, Homura may have to accept that she is not normal either—a pyromaniac with pyrokinesis who enjoys incinerating evildoers. What will happen when this group of over-the-top teenage girls is unleashed onto the world? Will they save it, or burn it all to the ground?
