What happens

Subaru Natsuki is pulled off a convenience-store run into a royal capital he does not know. A silver-haired girl and her catlike spirit pull him out of a mugging, and he tags along on her errand through the slums. The day keeps resetting whenever he dies, and he has to learn the city's dangers fast enough to keep her alive until morning.
