## Story

### Prologue

Tachibana Ichiro, is an ordinary student of Higashisaka Kitano Academy, stories of his grandmother about good witches living near town always fresh on his mind. As he daydreams, he is hit by a dodgeball, seeing his teacher, Yuuko, puts him at ease but his classmate Lily steps on him, as he loudly proclaims his mixed feeling about her looks and personality. As he passes out, from heatstroke, his classmates blame mostly him but he is nursed back up by Yuuko, which he has a crush on. Back in class, Lily seemed jealous and frustrated, that she would not lose to Ichirou, before leaving to her club but as Ichirou speculates that she might be in love with Yuuko as well, she rushes back to deny it.

Walking back home that day, he sees a street vendor with a black coat. While at first not interested in any of the items, as the vendor talks about magic, he is reminded of mansion and witch shack. Lily appears from behind interested in what Ichiro was doing and buys multiple things, but Ichiro sneaks away. Back at home, he decides to visit the mansion as part of his nightly routine, watching Yuuko which he suspects to be a witch.

### Main Plot

As he arrives, and watches Yuuko, he is surprised yet again by Lily, mad that she was ditched and even more mad he was spying on magic. Transformed into her own witch costume, she uses one of the bought charms on him to bring him under her control. However, Ichiro is knocked out by the spell and Yuuko and Lily stand over him. Lily with some tears in her eyes, apologizes. As Ichiro realizes his body has been transformed into a tentacle monster, Yuuko had given Lily already a scolding the "familiar charm" was only a cover for a dark magic spell, which could turn a human into a demon. As Ichiro gets angry with Lily, his body starts to lose slight control, a result of his transformation, Lily is knocked to the side with Yuuko presenting herself. The demonic tentacles produce an aphrodisiac scents, and grab Yuuko. Yuuko telling her to stay away, tries to use her body to calm his form, with Lily only able to watch blushing. As Ichiro passes out, and awakens back in his human form Yuuko explains the situation and tries to calm him yet again, the only thing that stops the animalistic transformation. At this point Ichiro has two small oni like horns, with Yuuko thinking up an excuse for the others.

It is explained that Yuuko, had promised her former master, the Witch of the Ocean and Ichiro's grandmother, to protect him from the Magicians Association, which in some faction would kill all male magic users thinking they were often evil, like Sorcerer Faust. To keep Ichiro save, he was kept away from magic and with Yuuko watched over him. However, now with his transformation into a demon, things could become dangerous. Lily, had come to, Japan from Egypt, to train under the current "witch of the Ocean" but was jealous of the attention for Ichiro and her current unwillingness to act as a magical teacher.

Back in the academy, Lily pulls on Ichirou to follow her, knowing that he needed magic to keep his form. She agreed to willingly to perform the same "calming acts" as Yuuko did. Ichriou resisted the idea, as his scent could be addictive but Lily had already had breathed it in last night and now also saw it as her own responsibility, as she had transformed him in the first place. While, Lily and Yuuko both resisted the demonic scent, somewhat, Ichiro could be a danger to others if he went out of control.

In the end, Ichiro considered if his heart had changed, and if he liked Lily or Yuuko more. The game at this point can start to split into multiple routes, if Ichiro pushes for one or the other heroine.

Lily pushes Ichiro to become part of her club, which in truth is the occult club, with the weird looking Tsukachi and Nishida being odd but long running members. Yuuko also overlooks the club, and Lily uses it to find out mysterious things around town. Lily also now often visits Ichiro Home, to wake him up with his transformation into a demon ongoing, but his personality staying the same.

During swim classes, Lily apologizes once more for what she has done, and she implies her like for Ichrio, with him now forced into one of the routes. The more common route, being the Lily one, which is also followed up in later entries.

Lily connects her own house with his and as club president often pushes for her being close to be needed. In the club, the group tries to find the street vendor but the drawing Lily provided is so terrible it does not even look like a human being, and the group moves on their own. On their way home, Lily and Ichiro spot, Kaya Blanche of the Magicians Association. The inquisitor had found and was fighting, the street vendor, Eisen Faust, which fled as Lily and Ichiro came closer. Kaya, viewing all male mages as bad, now looked at Ichiro, with Lily defending him. Kaya herself, had been a student of Yuuko, but had abandoned her teaching in the quest for revenge, as her own mother had died to a dark mage. Lily as hurt, and carried back home by Ichiro, with both of them "calming each other" until Yuuko arrives with a new lead.

The group finds Eisen Faust Hideout, and avoid the wrong paths, Eisen Faust had already captured Kaya Blanche and now controlled Ichiro's body forcing him to become even more corrupt. As Ichrou took on a new stronger form, he still was under the control of Faust, which now wanted to insert the soul of his master Sorcerer Faust, into Ichiro. Eisen himself a golem, created for the purpose of his master's resurrection.

Lily fights Eisen Faust but suffers from a grave wound, with her appearing to be dead. The charm of the Witch of the Ocean activates and grants Ichiro access to the "magic of life", a power that Faust had looking. With his new found magic, he transformed Eisen Faust into a tree and healed the wounds on Lily's body before falling unconscious again.

### Epilogue

Ichiro awakens, at an unknown point once more in the lap of of Yuuko the same way he was nursed back in the beginning. Lily storms at them jealousy tells him that he is a cheater and asks him to go to the club again. On his way, Ichiro meets Kaya, which had joined the academy to keep an eye on him and keep him save. Thankful for being saved but also to watch over him for the association. As Ichiro and Lily embrace in the club, the game ends. Regardless of Lily or Yuuko route, Ichirou remains human.
