"Wow. This mansion is big."

"It's a mansion, Utahime. It's meant to be big."

Two sorcerers from Kyōto Jujutsu High are sent on a mission to investigate a mysterious mansion that is supposedly haunted by 'strange creatures'.

They've been walking through the same corridor for the last 30 minutes.

"It appears we've been stuck within a time-manipulating barrier." A blue-haired woman in a ponytail says

"What does that mean, Mei-san?" A younger woman with a kimono asks

"We may think we've been walking for the past 30 minutes in here, but to the outside world, we could have been missing for longer." Mei Mei explained

"How do we get out then?"

"Huh. I'm not sure." the blue haired replies

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE NOT SURE?!"

"Relax, Utahime. You should win an award for 'Scream Queen'."

"YOU'RE A FREAKING GRADE-1 SORCERER! HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW!" Utahime yells

"Let's split up." Mei Mei walks away

"NO!" Utahime cries while running after her senior


An explosion rocks the mansion. A few seconds later, the building gets destroyed. Utahime is buried under a pile of rubble while Mei Mei stands up, brushing the debris off of her clothes.


"Yo! Utahime!" an annoying voice greets that the kimono-wearing young woman knows all too well

"You cryin'?" Satoru asks

"Shut up! I'm your senpai!" she says furiously

"Satoru! It's not nice to pick on the weak!" Suguru told him

"AGHH! SHUT UP YOU BASTARDS!"

"Look who's here! The new student I presume?" Mei Mei asks

Makima walks over to them. She gives Mei Mei a thumbs up to answer her question.

"Utahime-senpai." Shoko greets lazily

"SHOKOOOO!" Utahime runs over to the brown-haired girl with tears in her eyes

"Don't be like those two okay??" Utahime hugs her tightly

"Uh...sure." she answers

Utahime then turns to look at Makima. "You're the new student right? What's your name?"

"It's rude to ask one's name if you haven't given yours first." She deadpans

Her eye twitches. "My name is Utahime. I'm your senpai." she says

"Makima." she answered simply


"So! What grade are you in, Makima?" Utahime asks her

"Yaga-sensei said she's a special grade." Satoru answers for her, snickering

Her eyes twitch even more in annoyance. "I'm the weakest in here?!" Utahime whispers

"Hahaha! You sure are!" Satoru teases, having heard her whispering



"JUST SHUT UP ALREADY!"


"Uhh..anyways, you guys have been missing for days. So Yaga-sensei sent us to save you. Ta-da." Suguru explained

"DAYS?!" Utahime panicked
