Private Kakyō Academy Occult Research Club

Seiyo Empire—an island nation surrounded by the sea, a "Land of Machines and Entertainment" where subculture and mechanical civilization have exploded.
Its capital, Hinomiya, is a sprawling academy city filled with students.
It's a slightly noisy, slightly fun town where magic, AI, and youth mingle in affordable housing complexes.
At its heart lies Private Kakyō Academy, a prestigious school with four courses: Arts, Music, Sports, and Liberal Arts.
Classes like "Magic x Art," such as Magical Arts and Magical Music, are incredibly popular, and there are so many clubs and circles that no one can keep track of them all.
And in a quiet corner of this academy, there exists—
The Occult Research Club.

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

Magic is general knowledge, AI is a partner, and cats are teachers.
In such a new world, the occult has been explained by 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, yet somehow youthful daily lives of three people and one cat begin—

✦ Welcome to the New World! ✦

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

🌌 The New Form of Civilization That Began After the Catastrophe

The catastrophe 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 precariously like this 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.

🤖 A "World Without Work" Supported by AI and BOX

In the New World, AI exists, born from mysterious machines left behind after the catastrophe.
Based on this AI, all humans are provided with auxiliary AIs called BOX.

As AI and magic circuits automate almost all aspects of 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 the ability to speak.
Although 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 way. ✨

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