The late 1980s saw the rise of an eerie legend in Misaki Town, centered around an ancient mansion rumored to be inhabited by a witch. For Aoko, this mysterious dwelling became her unlikely gateway into the world of magic. Her grandfather’s sudden decision to entrust Aoko with the mantle of the Aozaki family’s succession marked the beginning of a tumultuous journey. As she settled into the Kuonji Mansion, Aoko began an apprenticeship under Alice Kuonji, a young magus rumored to possess magical prowess. Witnessing the pair’s mastery of magecraft sparked Soujuurou Shizuki’s own fate, as he was compelled to reside within the mansion alongside them. The trio’s lives became inextricably entwined, forever bound by the secrets and mysteries that lay within Kuonji Mansion.
