Didn't I Say to Make My Abilities Average in the Next Life?! (Japanese: 私、能力は平均値でって言ったよね!, Hepburn: Watashi, Nōryoku wa Heikinchi de tte Itta yo ne!) is a Japanese light novel series written by FUNA and illustrated by Itsuki Akata. A manga adaptation by Neko Mint began serialization in 2016. Both the light novel and manga have been licensed in North America by Seven Seas Entertainment. An anime television series adaptation by Project No.9 aired from October 7 to December 23, 2019.

Plot

Misato Kurihara, a genius girl who couldn't make any friends due to her exceptional abilities, is killed after being run over while protecting a young girl. Offered the chance to be reborn into a fantasy world, Misato asks that she simply be reincarnated with average abilities. After she regains her memory of her old life, she discovers that "average" in this new world takes into account the power of the absolute strongest and the absolute weakest magical creatures, resulting in her physical and magical abilities being 6,800 times stronger than that of a typical human. The magic used in this world is effected by nanomachines created by a more advanced civilization; the project was eventually abandoned, however, and the world's civilization has regressed and since stagnated as a result.

Reborn as the noble Adele von Ascham, her life takes a sharp turn at the age of eight, when her mother and her grandfather are assassinated by her conniving father, who then marries his mistress and then begins favoring his other daughter. By the age of ten, Adele is sent off to the prestigious Eckland Academy, where she makes the first friends in her two lives. However, when she uses her tremendous magical abilities to save a boy from being beaten by the royal princess' escort and passes herself off as the mortal vessel of a god, the resulting attention towards her person forces her to flee to another kingdom. Attending Hunter's Prep School and forming a team with her classmates Mavis, Reina, and Pauline, Adele tries her best to live her life as normally as possible, which does not prove to be an easy feat.

Characters

The Crimson Vow

Adele von Ascham (アデル・フォン・アスカム, Aderu fon Asukamu) / Mile (マイル, Mairu)

Voiced by: Hikaru Koide (CM), Azumi Waki (anime) (Japanese); Sarah Anne Williams (English)

The central character, Adele is a twelve-year-old girl with long silver hair. She was originally an intelligent Japanese high school girl named Misato Kurihara (栗原 海里, Kurihara Misato), who was unable to make friends due to the expectations placed upon her. After losing her life while saving an elementary school girl from an oncoming truck, she was offered the chance to be reincarnated into a fantasy world, asking only that she would be given "average" abilities so she can live a normal life. After regaining her memories at the age of ten, Adele discovered that her "averaged" abilities actually bestow her with excessive physical strength and powerful magic. After failing to hide her abilities at Eckland Academy, she left her home country and took on the alias of "Mile" to attend Hunter's Prep School, where she forms a party named The Crimson Vow (赤き誓い, Akaki Chikai). She loves books, anime, manga, and video games, the knowledge of which she uses in her new life in very interesting ways, including training her friends to make them more formidable. She has a boob complex, which provokes her anger when someone points it out.
Adele's cover name is derived from the term "nautical mile" in Japanese, which has the same kanji as her Japanese first name.

Reina (レーナ, Rēna)

Voiced by: Yuki Nakashima (CM), Sora Tokui (anime) (Japanese); Colleen O'Shaughnessey (English)

Also known as Crimson Reina, she is a mage specializing in fire magic. She was born to a traveling merchant, and became a Hunter at an early age, giving her the most practical knowledge and experience amongst the Crimson Vow party members. She has a signature fire spell called Crimson Hellfire, and has a particular hatred for bandits after both her father and a Hunter group who had taken her in were killed by such brigands. Despite being fifteen years old at the start of the series, she is assumed to be a similar age to Mile, the youngest member of their group, due to her petite height and appearance, which is a source of annoyance for her.

Mavis von Austien (メーヴィス・フォン・オースティン, Mēvisu fon Ōsutin)

Voiced by: Fumiko Uchimura (anime) (Japanese); Claire Corlett (English)

The official leader of the Crimson Vow (although it is always Reina that does the actual "leading"), Mavis is a 17-year-old swordswoman of noble birth. She is tall and has an androgynous appearance, making her popular with other girls, and is a softie for sappy and sad stories, especially the backstories behind each of her friends. After running away from home in the hopes of becoming a knight, she met the other members of the Crimson Vow at the Hunters' Prep School and helped to form the party. When her father later tries to force her back into the role of a demure noble's daughter, Mavis and Mile manage to change the Count's mind (though not his worry) by defeating him and his eldest son in single combat, proving their ability to take care of themselves.

Pauline (ポーリン, Pōrin)

Voiced by: Masumi Tazawa (anime) (Japanese); Veronica Taylor (English)

A 14-year-old mage specializing in healing and water magic, she is the daughter of a merchant and the resident bookkeeper of the Crimson Vow. She usually is shy and mild-mannered, but where her friends and loved ones are concerned, she can manifest a very vicious edge. Pauline became a Hunter to avenge her father, who was killed by thieves employed by the president of the Beckett merchant company, who absorbed her family's shop into his enterprise and forced Pauline's mother into becoming his lover. However, with the help of her friends, Pauline succeeds in exposing the villainy of the Beckett president and his benefactor, Viscount Borderman.

The Wonder Trio

Marcela (マルセラ, Marusera)

Voiced by: Maki Kawase (anime)

The third daughter of a baron and a friend of Adele's. At first highly jealous of the attention Adele received for her abilities and popularity, she and her friends softened up on her after learning of her tragic family past and sincere personality. Adele eventually trains them in using their magic more effectively, causing the Eckland Academy principal to nickname the three of them (among other titulations) The Wonder Trio.

Monika (モニカ, Monika)

Voiced by: Kiyono Yasuno (anime)

The daughter of a merchant and a friend of Adele's.

Aureana (オリアーナ, Oriāna)

Voiced by: Hisako Tōjō (anime) (Japanese); Tara Sands (English)

A commoner attending Eckland Academy on scholarship and a friend of Adele's.

Kingdom of Tils

Lenny (レニー, Renī)

Voiced by: Hiyori Kono (anime) (Japanese); Cristina Vee (English)

The daughter of a family managing the inn where Mile and later the whole of Crimson Vow take up residence. Despite her tender age, she is a very shrewd businessperson and thus the one person effectively running the establishment.

Booneclift (ブーンクリフト, Būnkurifuto)

Voiced by: Hiroshi Naka (old) and Haruna Momono (young)

A mage who became obsessed with studying and taming wyverns. After he received Lobreath from a demon, he grew to love the wyvern as a friend, but chose to remain ignorant to the damage a hungry wyvern could cause to a fiefdom's economy.

Clairia

An elven mage and scholar specializing in archaeology. She was part of an expedition which got captured by a group of beastmen working for a trio of dragons who secretly conducted an excavation project on human lands. After being freed by Crimson Vow, she has become interested in Mile because of the latter's absurdly high power levels.

Kingdom of Brandel

Morena (モレナ, Morena)

Voiced by: Sayumi Watabe

The third child of the king of Brandel. A direct participant in the incident which forced Adele to reveal her powers in public, she becomes - with some encouragement by her father, who is seeking the supposed "goddess'" favor - interested in Adele after learning of her familial circumstances.

The von Ascham Family

Voiced by: Arisa Hirose (Prissy)

As described above, Adele's father had married into the von Ascham family and then orchestrated the assassination of his wife, Viscountess von Ascham, and her father, the former family patriarch, to claim their family's wealth and prestige. After shunning his daughter, Adele, to a boarding school, he intended to raise his daughter by his mistress, Prissy, as his only heir. However, when the avatar incident prompts the king to invite Adele to the royal palace, Adele instead deflects the invitation towards Prissy before fleeing the kingdom to escape the unwanted publicity. As a result of this, and the testimony of the late Viscountess' personal friends, the treacherous Viscount and his new family are found out and imprisoned.

Others

The Creator (創造主, Sōzōnushi)

A young man who Misato met after her death, who claims to have a role similar to "God". As thanks to Misato for saving a girl he had chosen to be mankind's future savior, he grants her a reincarnation into a fantasy world with average abilities, as requested. However, since he measured the term "average" using the new world's most powerful creature - an ancient dragon - as a template, Misato's reincarnation has been granted powers far beyond what she actually wanted.

Nano (ナノ, Nano)

Voiced by: Wataru Hatano (anime) (Japanese); Steve Staley (English)

A mysterious creature that only communicates with Adele. It watches over the nanomachines that make up people's magic in the other world. In the manga, it appears as a tiny, sphere-bodied robot, while in the anime it looks like a young cat. Nano's character is a personification of the nanomachines featured in the novel series, where their manifestations are far more impersonal.

Keiko Kurihara (栗原 経緯子, Kurihara Keiko)

Voiced by: Saima Takano

Misato's younger sister. Although she loves her family, she is not a hardcore otaku like the rest of them.

Learning that several children have gone missing, Mile goes to search for them, encountering Mavis von Austien the knight, and Reina the mage, on the way. Finding the missing children along with a merchant named Pauline, the girls confront the kidnappers and their leader, Arledy. When her small stature is insulted, Mile, whose abilities are actually the average of all magical creatures in the world, inadvertently uses her overly powerful magic to defeat the kidnappers with ease. The next day, Mile begins attending Hunter's Prep School, discovering that Mavis, Reina, and Pauline are all her roommates.

As lessons begin, Mile tries to hold back her abilities to appear average, only to make her roommates even more suspicious of her. Later, as the girls form a party and go on a quest to hunt some horned rabbits, Mile decides to train the others to become stronger in the hopes that she'll stand out less.

With the school faced with closure, the principal asks the girls to take part in the graduation's mock battle against B-rank hunters and win against them. On the day of the battle, Mile is approached by Arledy, the one behind the closure, who offers to revoke the closure on the condition that she become hers if her party can't win without any losses.

After their graduation, Crimson Vow begins to undertake Hunter quests in order to cover their living expenses. After a few gathering quests, they accept an assignment as guards for a caravan, where they befriend an old merchant.

One night, during a camp break, Mile, Reina, Mavis, and Pauline tell each other their background stories. Reina, a peddler's daughter, has come to hate bandits since such people first killed her father and then the Crimson Lightning, an adventuring Hunter band who had taken her in, leading to the revelation of her magical abilities. Mavis ran away from her noble home when her father and brothers denied her desire to follow in their footsteps as a knight. Pauline is the daughter of a well-to-do merchant who was murdered and his business annexed by his treacherous head clerk, driving her into becoming a Hunter in order to avenge her father. On her part, Mile tells of her story as Adele von Ascham, how her mother was murdered and she was driven from her home by her new stepmother, and how she made her first friends at Eckland Academy until an incident with her magical powers caught the king's attention, forcing her to run away and adopt her new identity as Mile.

The merchants escorted by Crimson Vow make it safely to their destination, where they meet the old merchant's granddaughter, Anne. Right afterward, the merchants must deliver another shipment, but on their way, they are beset and murdered by bandits. Determined to avenge them, Reina makes off into the woods on her own, followed by Mile, Mavis, and Pauline. The girls discover that the bandits are actually soldiers from the neighboring Albarn Empire assigned to disrupt Amroth's trade revenues, and defeat them all, at the same time stopping Reina from killing their leader. The old merchant also turns out to be alive, having by sheer chance evaded the attack, and is happily reunited with his granddaughter.

After their successes on the road, Crimson Vow decides to take a break. At a loss at what to do, Mile decides to go to the beach, and tailors new bathing suits for herself and the other girls, although this causes a slight scandal when these turn out to be too revealing for this world's fashion sense. But as they return to their inn, Pauline backs off the group and disappears after spotting a soldier lurking in an alleyway.
8	"No One Mentioned That Pauline's Getting Married, Did They?!" Transliteration: "Pōrin ga kekkon tte Itte nai yo ne?!" (Japanese: ポーリンが結婚って言ってないよね？！)	November 25, 2019 (2019-11-25)
Just as Mile, Reina, and Mavis are wondering where Pauline has gone, they receive a letter from Mavis' family, telling them that her third-eldest brother is marrying Pauline. However, this is just a ploy by her father's former head clerk and his friend, Viscount Boardman, to form bonds with a prestigious family line, and to ensure Pauline's cooperation, they hold her mother and younger brother hostage. In order to stop this insidious scheme, Mile, Reina and Mavis invade the Beckett estate, and Mavis' father, Count Austien, calls for a trial by combat, which Pauline easily wins. When Count Austin demands that Mavis returns home, she refuses, forcing Mile into a trial by combat against the Count. After being defeated, the Count finally gives in and approves of Mavis' career choice.

Tired out by the workload Lenny heaps upon them at their inn (in exchange for a reduction of their rent), Crimson Vow takes up a Wyvern hunting quest, despite Wyverns being exceedingly difficult hunting targets. They visit the village in whose vicinity the Wyvern in question has settled, and bring it down after Mile employs several airborne attacks using her teammates as living missiles. However, before they can kill it, they are stopped by Booneclift, a royal mage who befriended the Wyvern, whom he named Lobreth, in his youth. With those two old friends happily reunited, and with Booneclift generously recompensing all parties involved, Crimson Vow fulfills their long-desired dream of erecting a private bathouse on the inn's grounds.
10	"Didn't I Say Surprises Should Be Kept Secret!?" Transliteration: "Sapuraizu wa naisho de tte Itta yo ne!" (Japanese: サプライズは内緒でって言ったよね！)	December 9, 2019 (2019-12-09)
While celebrating Lenny's 11th birthday, Mile wistfully thinks back to the first birthday she had ever spent with friends at Eckland Academy, prompting the rest of Crimson Vow to prepare their own surprise party for Mile. However, to do so, they have to gather funds on their own without telling her, making Mile become obsessed with the idea that the others are abandoning her. Still, even after the secret comes out, the party comes to pass - until a relieving Mile confesses to having committed some minor transgressions against her own teammates.
11	"Didn't I Say Arrogance Leads to Trouble!?" Transliteration: "Manshin wa kinmotsu tte Itta yo ne!" (Japanese: 慢心は禁物って言ったよね！)	December 16, 2019 (2019-12-16)
Wishing to prove to Mile that they are not too dependent on her for help, Reina, Pauline and Mavis decide to accept a particularly difficult quest: Finding an investigation team gone lost while exploring the peculiar fluctuations of a nearby forest's monster population. As they enter the forest, Crimson Vow discovers that some powerful creature has settled in the deepest part of the woods and subjugated the local beast people as its servants. After freeing most of the investigation team, they go after their leader, an elf scholar named Cu Leleia, still held captive in a set of ruins being excavated by the beast people. However, there they are forced to discover that their opponent is an elder dragon, one of the most powerful creatures in this world, and Mile ends up fatally wounded.
12	"Didn't I Say The Crimson Vow Would Never Be Destroyed!?" Transliteration: "Akaki chikai wa fumetsu tte Itta yo ne!" (Japanese: 赤き誓いは不滅って言ったよね！)	December 23, 2019 (2019-12-23)
As she lies dying, mired in self-doubt, Mile recovers upon seeing her friends fighting for their lives, and with her newfound determination she manages to boost her magical power, easily defeating the elder dragon and two of its congeners. From the dragons, Crimson Vow learns that they were seeking to unearth the remnants of a prior, more advanced civilization that died out when it could not develop any further. Although they and Nano, a remnant of that lost culture, refuse to divulge their motives, Mile eventually deduces that they might be looking for that civilization's lost weapons to increase their power. Mile decides to leave on her own in order to discover their plans and perhaps save the world, only to find Reina, Pauline, and Mavis joining her willingly on her new quest.
