The story is set in 1990s England. The protagonist is a 10-year-old girl named Aya. Having grown up as an orphan since she was a baby, Aya found life in the orphanage, where everyone did what she wanted, very comfortable. So she never once thought about wanting to be adopted by someone. However, one day, she is suddenly taken in by a strange pair, a flashy woman and a tall man. \"My name is Bella Yaga. I'm a witch. I brought you home because I needed your help.\" The woman introduced herself, and Aya replied, \"Then it's settled. In exchange for you teaching me magic, I'll be your assistant.\" However, Bella Yaga only uses Aya as her assistant and makes her do all the work. No matter how much she begs, no matter how hard she works, Mandrake, the suspicious man who lives with the witch, won't teach her a single spell. He only shows his face at meal times. He always looks grumpy, and his catchphrase is \"Don't bother me.\" For the first time in her life, Aya has hit a wall that doesn't go her way, but she decides to fight back, thinking, \"Alright, I won't give up.\" Her special talent is manipulating those around her and making them do what she wants. \u003ctrack listing\u003e 1.
