Roslet Forbidden City was a single city located within the heart of the endless desert. It was completely isolated from outer world and was forced to sustain its live-hood using materials produced by magic. In 7000 years of history, this city has never had any record of a visitor from outside or any resident who was able to visit the outside world. 

The reason of the complete isolation was the existence of countless magic beast which lived in the desert. There were few of them which lives on the surface of the sand, flying above the desert sky, or living in the sand itself like fishes within the sea. in addition, the average strength of the magic beasts were equal to B+ ranked adventurers.

Roslet was called forbidden city because the residents of this city was very well known as the descendants of the grave sinners, forbidden spell casters, witches, and criminals who were exiled. In other words, this city was a prison in the shape of a city. 

A child born within this city would not be able to raise their level properly. The combat occupation children wouldn't be able to go hunt anything as the monsters outside the city barrier were B ranked and the production occupation wouldn't be able to train without raw materials. But, there was exception. There were two classes which could still raise their level here, they were witches and alchemists. That was why Roslet was also known as the city of Witches and Alchemists.

But, a sudden change occurred in this city. On a certain day, a mysterious magic circle appeared in the middle of the plaza and from inside the magic circle, 2 women, a small dragon and a single human statue appeared. They were the paladin, Karina, the Guardian Dragon, Lilliana Concerto, and the archmage girl who introduced herself as Alicia Concerto.

It seems like they had similar circumstances with the ancestors of Roslet's residents. They had made an enemy of the church and the alliance of various nations and were escaping using a special magic item given by the person called by Karina as 'Lord' before ended up arriving in this city.

The person who held the highest authority in Roslet, the Grand Witch Elder, Madam Arleshia Orleana, had a quick discussion with them. Without any further delay, she then announced that Karina and Alicia were accepted as the residents of this town.

Just within a year, the two of them had completely blended with the society of Roslet. Alicia, who had a high aptitude in magic, was enrolled to the Roslet Witchcraft Academy with Madam Arleshia's recommendation and reigned as one of the Prodigy Witch apprentice in 2 months after her enrollment.

But, despite her great talent, there were many rumors about her. She was well known as a statue lover. She had a statue of a man inside her room and she even put it on her bed and slept with it every night. She was also known as an extreme dragon maniac. She really loved the small Guardian Dragon, Lilliana. There was a time when she half-killed a son of an influential Alchemist in the city when he asked if she was willing to sell that dragon.

Karina, who was acting as Alicia's guard was also famous. She was strong. Far too strong. There was a rumor that she had completely subdued the dark guild, Shadow Shaker, by herself when they tried to steal Alicia's statue to blackmail her. She was also overprotective when it comes to her subject, Alicia. She even had enough guts to threaten a senior teacher who tried to court Alicia with her sword. There was also a rumor the she had amputated many reproductive organs of the bandits endangering her subject. Simply put, they were dangerous.

Many people protested this matter to madam Arleshia. After getting tired of the endless complaints, she finally made a move. She appointed Alicia as her disciple and her successor to have a complete surveillance on her. Since Alicia was appointed Madam's successor, none dares to make a move on her anymore.Lilliana was also announced as Alicia's familiar so that nobody would dare to make any move on her. 

After getting convinced by Madam Arleshia about Alicia's safety, Karina was also stopped being radical. She had stopped causing any injury to anyone anymore. She, who had lost her role as a guard, now worked as a maid in Madam Arleshia's office. The sudden storm now calmed down thanks to the Grand Witch Elder. Though, nobody had known that there was a big secret hidden in the darkness in the process and that this hidden secret would cause a greater storm than ever.

Blazt : .............. *soul floating from the mouth*

Ren : You sure have finished him off, Alicia.

Alicia : How was it Ren-sama?

Ren : It somehow reminded me of the anime Blazt-sama had showed me the other day but it somehow suited you. But, I like the usual innocent and kind Alicia than this one.

Alicia : Eeeeh? But, isn't my next role will be a witch? I thought this character is suitable.

Ren : *murmur* Rather than a witch it's probably would be better to describe it as a queen.

Alicia : Did you say something, Ren-sama? 

Ren : Ah, no. I think we need to make Blazt-dono up or the story would be delayed even further.

Alicia : Is that so? I think we can let him be. He should be wake up in few minutes anyway.

Ren : .........

Alicia : Well... since it's just both of us, should we do something together? A date or something like that? Or do you want something beyond that? Iyaa, Ren-sama no ecchi!!

Ren : Alicia, your character is crumbling.

Alicia : Is that so?

Ren : Yeah. You sounded like Filma. But, a date would be interesting though.
