Episode 4 Story

Coco, Agott, Tetia, and Riche find themselves trapped within a mysterious space. As the four young witches search for a way to escape, they are confronted by a dangerous Scaled Dragon. While they discover a magic circle that could serve as a clue for their exit, the dragon's interference prevents them from getting close to it. Just as they begin to lose hope, Coco comes up with a brilliant idea inspired by Tetia's magic.

"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.
