I’ll Never Set Foot in That House Again! (Manga)

Chelsea lives at the abusive hands of her mother and younger twin sister’s daily torment. But on her twelfth birthday, the Appraiser Glen visits her father’s barony and tells her she has a never-before-seen Skill—[Seed Creation]! Desiring to study this newfound special ability, Chelsea is whisked away to the Royal Research Institute. Her life then drastically improves, from being treated worse than dirt to being presented with her own living quarters and even personal maids! But her sister Margaret isn’t happy with this sudden change at all...

Chelsea is settling into her new life at the Royal Research Institute—spending her days eating delicious food, meeting wonderful people, and creating never-before-seen seeds with her Skill. But Margaret, Chelsea’s twin, refuses to believe her good-for-nothing older sister is now thriving. As their paths cross, Margaret’s anger erupts! Confronting Margaret and her parents once and for all, Chelsea tells them, “I’ll never set foot in that house again!”

Chelsea is finally free of her abusive birth family, and has been adopted by her maternal uncle. But before the dust can settle, a top-secret letter arrives from the neighboring Radzuel Empire. In desperate need of aid, the sender asks that Chelsea come and plant a cutting of the Spirit Tree in hopes of dispelling the miasma that has engulfed their land... Knowing the Empire borders her adoptive father’s domain, the Sargent Margraviate, she readily accepts the request and departs, eager to meet her new relatives. Upon arrival, she’s showered with familial love and affection for the first time. Chelsea considers what she can do in return—and what better way to help than to create a seed that would clear away the miasma invading her family’s home?

Using her [Seed Creation] Skill, Chelsea creates an Elixir Seed to cure former emperor Royz’s illness. With him fully recovered, it’s time to head for the imperial capital to challenge Emperor Bearsley for the throne! As they approach the city, Chelsea sees the devastation the miasma has caused the Radzuel citizens. Determined to help, she vows to plant the Spirit Tree cutting and clear the miasma away!

Chelsea and her companions have successfully overthrown the tyrannical Emperor Bearsley! What’s more, the Sky Lily Seeds she created have saved the Radzuel Empire by absorbing the surrounding miasma. Their goals accomplished, Chelsea and Glen begin the journey back to Chronowize—with Micah joining them as Chelsea’s new personal chef. However, the fake fortune teller who instigated the whole ordeal catches a glimpse of our heroine and refuses to let her escape so easily...

Wedding bells are on the horizon, but it’ll be a long road to get there! After recuperating from her mana fever in her home margraviate, Chelsea finally returns to the Royal Research Institute. She has a lot to do now that she’s back—like figuring out where her personal chef Micah the foxwoman will work, meeting the king and queen after accepting Glen’s marriage proposal, and choosing a dress for her debut in noble society. But with Glen at her side, there’s nothing she can’t do!

With her engagement to Glen soon to be announced, Chelsea prepares by stepping into high society for the first time. There, she encounters the whirlwind that is Noel Wisteria—and makes her very first friend. Before she knows it, she’s invited to Noel’s home for a luncheon. But just as they finish touring the Wisteria manor’s lush gardens, a scream shatters the peace—the men in black robes launch an attack! Determined to protect those she holds dear, Chelsea takes a stand, ready to wield her [Seed Creation] in battle.

After the attack on Marquis Wisteria’s manor, the truth comes to light—the men in black robes aim to destroy the Spirit Tree of Origin and take Chelsea’s life! To uncover their plans, Chelsea agrees to act as bait, using her trusty [Seed Creation] Skill to set the trap. Soon after, Ele asks her for a favor: He wants to reunite with his old friend, the Proxy. But to reach her in the heart of the Demonic Forest, Chelsea must first plant Spirit Trees across every nation and summon the four Great Spirits. Meanwhile, Chelsea and Glen’s long-awaited engagement announcement is right around the corner...
