Once, the land was ruled by a great and noble dragon.

Kanna was this dragon's name, and her thiccness was rivaled only by her ravenous appetite. Those who lewded her were swiftly engulfed in the inky void of her maw.

Despite this, her rule was a peaceful one, and Culture flourished. The serfs feasted nightly on ravioli, and artisans produced great works of memes.

Yet even amid this renaissance, there was discontent. There was one who sought to oppose Kanna's rule; this one was Xenonauts. He believed Kanna was unfit to rule, and began a crusade to depose her and put in power his own maiden, Sagiri.

Xenonauts was as clever as he was persistent, and soon recruited a loyal cabal of those who followed Sagiri. They answered Kanna's blessings of ravioli with a curse of spaghetti.

The people were outraged at Xenonauts' campaign. At every turn he was beaten back – and yet he persisted. Soon the kingdom was embroiled in civil war, a war that became known as the great Waifu War.

Megumin, the maiden next in line to Kanna's throne, sought to put an end to the conflict with her bakuretsu mahou. But it was to no avail: Her explosions were heard, yet the fighting continued.

For months the terrible war raged. Many fell in battle, but the people continued fighting, for they had no lives to lose.

Suddenly, there appeared a glimmer of hope. The great magistrate Burgus took charge and captured Xenonauts. He was to be put on trial for his crimes, which included lewding Sagiri — the very crime he claimed to deplore.
