With magic—once the exclusive domain of the nobility—now spreading to the masses, crime rates have skyrocketed. In response, the Imperial Kingdom established the Magical Crime Investigation Bureau.

Rogue, an investigator, is transferred to the Sixth Division due to a scheme by his superior, Veradonna. This infamous department is tasked with solving magical crimes—alongside the very witches who once brought calamity upon the kingdom.

These witches, imprisoned and bound by collars that suppress their magic, wield power capable of causing disaster. Yet, they toy with Rogue without restraint—led by the “Doll Demon” Miseria—throwing him into chaos…!?

“C’mon, Rogue, just one word is all I need. Give me the order. Tell me to cast a spell on that man. Just one word! Sure, his mind might break—but the case will be solved!”

A thrilling fantasy action tale where an investigator is tormented by his alluring (witch) partners!
