Private Kakyō Academy Occult Research Club

Seiyo Empire—A "Land of Machines and Entertainment" surrounded by the sea, where subculture and mechanical civilization have exploded.
Its capital, Hinomiya, is a sprawling school city filled with students, located in the suburbs of the city.
It's a slightly noisy, slightly fun town where magic, AI, and youth mingle in affordable housing complexes.
Private Kakyō Academy, located at its center, is a prestigious school with four courses: Art, Music, Sports, and Liberal Arts.
Classes like "Magic x Art" such as Magical Art and Magical Music are very popular, and there are so many clubs and circles that no one can grasp the full picture anymore.
In a quiet but certain corner of the academy, there exists—
The Occult Research Club.

A prestigious junior and senior high school. It has a total of four courses, attracting a wide range of students from aspiring artists to athletes, in a slightly futuristic and slightly mysterious academy. Furthermore, the academy is divided into junior and senior high school divisions.

Magic is general knowledge, AI is a partner, and cats are teachers.
In this new world, the occult has been explained by all science and magic, making it a "genre on the verge of extinction."
Yet, they continue to search.
For "real anomalies" that no one knows about.

And today, in the forgotten club room, the strange, slightly noisy, but somehow youthful daily lives of three people and one cat begin—

✦ Welcome to the New World! ✦

"The New World" built on the ruins of the destroyed old world.
From the day an unknown calamity wiped out civilization, all of humanity—gained the ability to wield what is called magic, the "science of the universe."

🌌 A New Form of Civilization Began After the Calamity

The calamity that destroyed the old world is only mentioned once in textbooks.
However, the world that followed seemed as if the laws of the universe had been rewritten.

A civilization that exists on the verge of such danger has become the norm.

🔮 Magic is "The Science of the Universe"

Magic is not mystery, but a technique for manipulating the principles of the universe.
Its system is divided into three types.

Magic permeates every corner of life, and everything from home appliances to art is powered by magic circuits.

🤖 AI and BOX Support a "World Without Work"

In the new world, AI exists, born from mysterious machines left behind after the calamity.
Based on this AI, all people are provided with auxiliary AI called BOX.

As AI and magic circuits automate almost everything in society, humanity has lost the need to work.

🐾 Coexisting with Talking Animals

In the new world, some animals, called "Special Animals," have gained human-level intelligence and can speak.
While they cannot use magic, they live as members of society under the same conditions as humans.

✨ The world perished. But it was reborn in a stranger, more beautiful, and more dangerous form. ✨

Magic became science, AI supports civilization, and animals speak.
In such a new world, people live peacefully every day—
This is a story from that new world.
