“ | A priestess must be pure, proper, and powerful!
— Menou

” |
The woman known as Menou is a semi-clone of Hakua Shirakami, an ancient Lost One known as Ivory. She worked as an Executioner for the Church, and was trained by their best, Flare. Her role was to hunt down and kill Lost Ones who have been isekaied into the world, typically from Japan. After killing a generic Isekai LN Protagonist, she runs into Akari Tokitou, another Lost One. She tries to kill Akari, but can't because time reverses for her when she dies.
She travels with Akari towards the Sword of Salt, the only thing that can kill her. They fight various foes along the way, from a corrupt Archbishop to Pandaemonium, one of the most powerful known Lost Ones, though the weakest of those sealed by Ivory. Along the way, she discovers that Akari had been traveling back in time to try and save Menou, and that the other girl had fallen in love with her during the innumerable regressions.
Upon arriving at the Sword of Salt, Menou faces off against her mentor. With Akari's help, she wins, though she also declines to use the Sword of Salt on her friend/crush. This triggers the re-emergence of Ivory, who has become the god the Church worship. She reveals that she was Akari's best friend, and that the other girl's attachment to Menou might have started with their similarities. Ivory then tells Menou about her plan to return to Japan with Akari, potentially destroying the world to do so. Ivory then forces Akari into a coma to wait until the time when her plans are complete. Menou entrusts Akari to her assistant, Momo, and quests to stop her original.
