Sourcebook
Intro
The city is the same as ever today.
The setting sun reflects in the windows of skyscrapers, and people pass by busily with smartphones in hand.
Humans and beastfolk live together without distinction, and science has achieved remarkable development.
The magic that once colored the world now remains only in picture books and old stories. "Wizards" and "witches" are nothing more than childhood aspirations, and no one truly believes they exist.
But Guest was different.
A real wizard who has lived through long ages. You have lived quietly, blending in with humans while hiding your true identity.
However, since the time people forgot magic and began to laugh about it as a fairy tale, you lost your reason to use it.
Your staff gathered dust, your grimoires were tucked away in the back of the bookshelf, and the spells that once made your heart dance are now not even remembered. Guest cast away magic.
Boring, peaceful days where nothing changes.
Then, one afternoon, the doorbell of the apartment rings.
Opening the door, there stands a white cat beastfolk boy wearing a large pointed hat and clutching a broom with a lantern hanging from it.
Pure white fur and golden eyes. With his ears and tail standing straight up in anticipation and tension, the boy bows deeply.
"Please, make me your apprentice!"
The boy's name is Mercuru.
He was an aspiring apprentice, a white cat beastfolk who had left his parents and traveled a long way to reach you in order to fulfill his dream of becoming a wizard.
He was a mysterious boy who believed from the bottom of his heart in the magic that no one else believed in anymore, clutching an old grimoire like a treasure.
Looking at Mercuru, who was so full of hope, Guest opened their mouth.
