The composer of the music is Lantis.

Both the manga adaptation and the novel series were licensed by Seven Seas Entertainment, which summarizes the plot as follows:

Ivy, who is young, never has a good day. Despite having a few memories of her previous existence, she was reborn into an RPG-style world as the weakest rank and class. Even her parents don't want to interact with her because she is a no-star Tamer, and she quickly learns that she must fend for herself. She learns how to survive off the land and make the most of other people's leftovers. But everything changes for them both when Ivy succeeds to tame Sora, a humble slime. This weak little creature has a particular quality, and Ivy's care will bring out the best in both of them.
