### Story Events

Running out of funds, Elaina encounters a flyer that promises payment for an ultra-short-term job, instructing readers to visit the listed address immediately. Elaina soon meets Estelle, a fellow witch whom has been researching time travel magic. After insulting each other, Elaina inquires about the payment and job. Estelle explains her history with Selena, how she turned into a psychotic murderer after the death of her parents and abuse by her uncle, her capture, and her execution at Estelle's own hands. She then reveals that the job is to escort her to the past ten years ago in order to rescue Selena's murdered parents to prevent her unfortunate fate. Soon, Estelle reveals that she has gone to drastic lengths to ensure the success of the time travel spell, bloodletting herself to stockpile mana, and further revealing that she will sacrifice her own magical abilities in the process of enacting the spell. She then reveals two sets of magic rings, that when worn, allow users to share their magic power, allowing Estelle to retain magical abilities for as long as they both wear the rings. Interested in seeing the city in the past, and agreeing to the terms, Elaina and Estelle travel back in time ten years.

Upon arrival Estelle explains that they have one hour to locate Selena's parents and save them before the magic ends and they return to their time, further elaborating that this will not effect their timeline, and is purely to help Estelle live with herself. Later, Estelle encounters a young Selena, and emotionally apologizes for not being able to save her before and vows to be successful this time. Alarmed, Selena politely says goodbye to Estelle, who then goes off to locate Selena's parents to save them.

Somewhere around Selena's house, Elaina ponders the story that Estelle had told her, and wonders why a mere robbery would result in such an intense stabbing. Resuming her search, Elaina's ring activates, indicating to her that Estelle has entered combat, supposedly with the murderer. However, shortly before Elaina can reach Estelle, the stream of magic is cut. Now panicking Elaina turns the corner to discover a veritable landscape. A figure stands amidst the flames, blood, and corpses, and turns to face Elaina, revealing herself as Selena. Realizing that Elaina was the woman she saw earlier with Estelle, she laughs through blood-covered teeth, stomping on Estelle's body. She explains to Elaina that her parents were cruel people, and their happiness was a facade, so she killed them. After asking Elaina who they were, she explains that they had come here to save her from becoming a murderer and being executed by Estelle. Selena, amused by this development, charges at Elaina. Still alive, Estelle overheard the exchange, and attacks Selena, launching her at a wall. Estelle, blinded by fury and heartbroken, frantically attacks Selena with magic. Elaina begs Estelle to stop, and struggles to remove her ring. However it does not stop Estelle, who is now burning the memories of Selena in order to kill her. As the clock strikes 6, both Elaina and Estelle time travel back to their own timeline. After they returned to the present timeline, it's revealed that she no longer retains any memories of Selena, and Elaina flees her home without the payment. Collapsing on a park bench and crying, Elaina reflects on the situation, how Estelle no longer remembers her childhood friend, and had now killed her twice with her own hands.

After the events of Selena's incident, Elaina visited the city with doll. She presumably experienced the exact same events as her main timeline counterpart during her stay in that city, where her long hair would be cut off by a ripper and later worked together with Sheila to capture the ripper. However, after the ripper was captured, Elaina didn't recover her hair back like her main timeline counterpart does, as she couldn't able to face herself with a smile anymore after experiencing Selena's incident, she begin to hate herself for the fact she couldn't able to save Estelle and Selena from what happened earlier.

Later, when Elaina from main timeline counterpart visits a mysterious place that claims it make wishes come true, along with her other timeline counterparts, were all transferred into the dream world by the devils. After they arrived in the dream world, Elaina, from the timeline where she experienced time travel with Estelle, began to kill all other counterpart of herself out of frustration. Because of this, she was nicknamed as "Violent", to differentiate all counterpart of themselves.

After Elaina from the main timeline, nicknamed "Protagonist", learned what "Violent" Elaina does to the others, "Violent" Elaina immediately shows up in front of her. Once both Elaina encounters each other, "Protagonist" Elaina wonders why "Violent" Elaina is doing this, she admits that she wants everyone to experience the same pain she feels as she never got over what happened in Rostolf. Before the fight begin, "Violent" Elaina questions "Protagonist" Elaina if she had visited Rostolf before, "Protagonist" Elaina says that she does and claims that Rostolf is a nice country, while reveal that she never have any trouble working with Estelle from main timeline. After realizing that "Protagonist" Elaina never experience the Selena incident and her journey is totally different than the one from her timeline, it makes "Violent" Elaina angered and the fight between them begins.

Following an exhausting battle, "Protagonist" Elaina makes peace with "Violent" Elaina. "Violent" Elaina wonders what's the point for her even wanting to kill all alternate counterpart of herself in the first place. "Protagonist" Elaina explains that what she wants wasn't about killing herself, but wanting to meet all alternate timeline counterparts of herself to learns about how different their journeys are, while find a way to let go of her trauma from Selena's incident. Soon, "Violent" Elaina asks "Protagonist" Elaina that if she's interested to learn her experiences on Rostolf, "Protagonist" Elaina answered her with yes and said that she will also tell her experiences as well. When they return to the castle, all Elainas decide to turn their diaries into a book titled "*Wandering Witch*".

After they came out with the book's name, "Protagonist" Elaina suddenly told the other counterparts return to their own timelines as soon as possible, as she has to deal with the devils who keep watching them from the beginning.

In the anime, instead of leaving, they all stay inside the castle and took a rest. While staying inside the castle, "Violent" Elaina reveals that she will restore her long hair back once she returned to her own timeline, since the ripper incident has already solved it should be easier for her to recover her hair.
