Her mother holds the position of president at "**Starlight Beauty**," a cosmetics company, while her father is a renowned movie director known for action and romance films. With her parents occupied by work, Kirika spends most of her time alone at home with the maids. To keep herself entertained, she engages in activities like playing with stuffed animals or venturing into the backyard. Growing up, Kirika lacked friends but discovered solace in dressing up as different characters, which ultimately sparked her interest in fashion design.

One day, Kirika's parents take a break from their hectic schedules and surprise her with a B-Daman named Swarming Holly, capable of communication. Excited by the company Holly provides when her parents are busy, Kirika learns how to use and shoot marbles with her newfound B-Daman, strengthening their bond as partners.

During the night they receive Kirika's B-Daman, Holly exhibits strange behavior, prompting Kirika to question her. Lacking a satisfactory explanation, Holly leads Kirika on an unexpected journey. Following Holly's guidance, they find themselves transported to the realm known as the "Mystic Village." The revelation of this otherworldly place astonishes Kirika, particularly when Holly transforms into her true form as a Familiar within the Mystic Village.

In the Mystic Village, Kirika and Holly encounter Elvire, an owl Mystic who serves as a messenger for the High Mystics. Elvire escorts them to meet the Five High Mystics, where Kirika seeks answers regarding her entrance into the Mystic Village. However, Holly interjects, defending Kirika as her B-Daman partner. The High Mystics comprehend the situation, and the meeting progresses. Afterward, Kirika, Holly, and Elvire are free to depart but find themselves embroiled in an attack by the Malevolents on the Mystic Village.

During the Malevolents' assault, Elvire and Holly shield Kirika, with Holly guiding her back to the human world. While defending Kirika, they face the Malevolents, led by Raven the Cat Malevolent. In the midst of the chaos, Kirika is separated from Elvire, plunging towards the ground. Though Holly's powers are insufficient to save her, Kirika summons inner strength, believing in herself and developing a resolute determination to fight alongside the Mystics. Suddenly, a glowing light engulfs her, granting her the powers of a butterfly and transforming her into **Viveria, the Butterfly Mystic**. She joins the battle, astonishing both Elvire and the Malevolents as she saves Elvire from a precarious situation.

Following the retreat of the Malevolents and saved the Mystic Village from further destruction, Kirika reveals a new form as Viveria, the Butterfly Mystic, to the High Mystics and the other Mystics. Witnessing her bravery, the High Mystics accept Kirika as a new Mystic, deeming her "special." Elvire promptly offers to become Kirika's teacher, guiding her in mastering her Mystic abilities. Grateful for the warm welcome, Kirika accepts Elvire's proposal, preparing to navigate her new reality as a Mystic while keeping her secret hidden from her parents and loved ones.
