Episode 9 Story

After hearing about the "Pentagram Test" to become full-fledged witches from Qifrey, Agott, Tetia, and Richeh each share their thoughts and goals regarding magic. Meanwhile, Coco, whose starting point is completely different from the others, is plagued by nightmares due to the heavy pressure of the reality that "Unknowables" are originally not permitted to become witches. Waking up night after night, she plunges deeper and deeper into her magic practice. On the other hand, Qifrey, suspecting that the clue to the "Brimmed Caps" lies within the magical ink that Coco possesses, attempts a magical tracking spell to uncover its traces.

"Magic"—it is crucial for people to live an abundant life—a handy miracle.
However, witches are the only ones who can cast magic,
and they must not be seen by ordinary people when casting.
That is the rule of this world.

Yet, Coco, a young girl living in a small village helping her mother with daily chores,
has always dreamed of becoming a witch since childhood.

One day, when a young witch named Qifery visits the village,
Coco secretly watches him using magic and uncovers a great secret.

It was the "absolute secret" that the witches kept from the world,
that anyone could use magic if they draw a Casting Seal with special tools. Born as an Outsider,
Coco becomes Qifery's apprentice and begins studying magic.
As she learns and grows together with her fellow apprentices in the atelier,
she gradually steps into the secretive world of witches.

This is the story of children who encounter despair, yet reach out toward hope.
