Femicia is an 8-year-old girl who has lived in the forest ever since the head of her village ordered her capture. With nothing left to keep her in the village, she changes her name and sets out on a journey. What she discovers changes everything for her.

Ivy visits a village after catching a field mouse in a trap. She sees everyone going about their work using their magical skills and frets over her own skill. Ivy sells her mouse meat and buys the first bread she's had in years, but there's a problem...

Femicia lives with her loving family. She's about to turn five—the age at which everyone receives a magical skill. No one knows what skill they will receive. That is left to the will of the gods. Femicia wants to be a tamer and work with monsters, but...

Ivy and Sora continue their journey, enjoying their time together. In an attempt to get Sora to sleep early, Ivy begins to tell a bedtime story. Long, long ago, the world was at war. To stop the war, a magician used a certain magic...

At the entrance to the next village, Ivy spots a scary-looking guard standing watch. Trembling with fear, she attempts to pass, but the guard stops and questions her. When she says that she's come from Latomi Village, the guard says something unexpected.

When Ivy goes into the village to sell her catch, everyone is really nice to her which makes her nervous. Later, she chances upon a peddler selling zaro, a specialty of Latomi Village. When she asks how the village is faring, the answer surprises her.

Ivy's delicious cooking has made her very popular. The suppression squad feasts after a job well done and the next day, they set out for Otolwa with Ivy. She's deeply impressed by her first sight of a big town, but it hides a serious problem.

When Ivy says that she's just turned nine, everyone congratulates her. Ivy is deeply moved by their well wishes. The members of Blazing Sword and Lighting King explain the organization's crimes and Ivy offers analysis, with Sora and her past life's help.

Ivy and Rattleua go to eat sweets with Meera and the others. According to Sora, the twin brothers Torto and Maruma were bad people after all. Considering the situation, Midorikaze may be the organization's favorite. If this continues, Meera and the others will be killed. So Ivy goes against it and says she's going to become an Otori.

Ivy and Rattleua begin the operation. The two pretend to be caught in a trap and arrive at the sweet shop where the enemy is located, along with Midori no Kaze. There, Rattorua questions Meera and the others. Torto and Maruma, whose true identity is revealed, fight Rattorua. Meanwhile, Flaming Sword and Thunder King are carrying out another operation with Captain Barksby.

Ivy is given a summary of the effects of their recent endeavors, which have shaken the whole kingdom. The Watch and the adventurers gather to celebrate their victory. During the feast, Blazing Sword and Lightning King have one last proposal for Ivy.
