    Synopsis:

    Ayu Tateishi leads a predictable life, focused on maintaining her popular image and harboring a secret crush. This routine is disrupted by Nina Sakura, a new student concealing a remarkable ability: spellcasting through a compact computer. Ayu becomes unexpectedly entangled in Nina’s quest to locate five powerful artifacts, a necessary step for the witch to marry a prince in a distant Magic Kingdom.

    Their collaboration proves challenging; Nina's magical clumsiness and penchant for intruding on Ayu's life create unforeseen complications. As their journey progresses, they attract attention from both supportive allies and formidable rivals hailing from the Magic Kingdom, forcing Ayu to confront a reality far removed from her carefully constructed world. The series explores themes of identity, responsibility, and the unexpected consequences of embracing the extraordinary.
