The condition to become a Great Sage with the power to save the world is to cast off all "worldly desires."
Ansel, a candidate for the current Great Sage, was also spending his days in rigorous training with his three disciples, but—
A busty disciple who adores him... worldly desire. A lively beast-girl with a lot of physical contact... worldly desire. An elf in stimulating attire... worldly desire!
As if being surrounded by temptation wasn't enough, he is sent on a journey full of seduction at the request of a prince—....
Attain enlightenment, Ansel! Cast off your worldly desires! The 'just-short-of-a-harem' battle fantasy begins!!!
