Yume Kikuchi arrives in Tokyo and, in her confusion, is almost hit by a car. She meets Zennosuke, who helps orient her and sends her in the right direction to Oyamada’s office, where she'll be boarding. After finding out that Oyamada is male (her mistake), she has a bout of homesickness and has a negative second encounter with Zennosuke.

Yume tries to get acclimated to the rules of magic, but she cannot stop thinking about her missteps with Zennosuke. Later, she meets Master Furasaki and Angela Brooks, who is the most powerful mage in Japan. Yume sets out to find Zennosuke and tries to make amends.

Yume is invited to Master Chief Ginpun’s home, and her experience is less than stellar. Runa runs away, and everyone searches for her. Although Runa’s mother begs Yume to perform magic to locate her, Yume refuses; the power of mother-daughter bonds proves to be the real magic.

After hearing of three children who nearly drowned and remain in critical condition, Yume, Kera, and Oyamada see what they can do to help. Kera begs Oyamada to save one of the boys who is steadily deteriorating. When he cannot, Kera discovers powers within himself.
