It is rumored that if a young girl makes a deal with a white fairy, she will fulfill whatever her heart desires. In return, however, she becomes a magical girl and has to risk her life to destroy fearsome and wild witches. Iroha Tamaki, a kindhearted high school student from Takarazaki City, is living proof that these rumors are true. Armed with a magical crossbow and the ability to heal wounds, Iroha searches the mazes where witches hide and defeats them before they can attack humans. However, Iroha does not remember her wish and even Kyuubey, the white fairy herself, seems to have no idea what Iroha asked her to do.
One day Iroha hears rumors about a city where “magical girls can be saved” and finds herself on a sunset train to Kamihama. Unfortunately, he realizes that the witches in Kamihama are much more powerful than usual. After the experienced magician Yachiyo Nanami is forced to save her, Iroha vows never to return. But when a chance encounter with little Kyuubey awakens distant memories, Iroha has to investigate the mysterious city despite the danger.
