[Yuri] [Road Trip] [Fantasy] [Steampunk] Also known as A Diary of Raising the Ashen Witch
"Become my property. If you do, I might consider saving you."
"Miss Dulico, you're already mine. Why be so shy about changing clothes?"
"You're my property now, so naturally I won't let anyone else take you away."
"Dulico, pick out a maid's uniform you like!"
A girl unexpectedly regains her memories and escapes the false "home" woven by the Magic Association. Together with Lilot, the mage who saved her, she sets out on a journey.
They live in an age of rapidly advancing steam technology. Beneath the shadows of colossal airships, conspiracy and virtue coexist, as do luxury and famine. Nobles and tycoons spend money without a second thought, praising the immense wealth brought by steam machinery. Mages suffer the aftereffects of magic's decline and seek a path to revival. Meanwhile, ambitious schemers, secret societies, and criminal organizations stir, intent on overthrowing the Empire's order.
Dulico, a maid and assistant, and Lilot, an enforcer, hope to keep traveling and find a haven in an Empire rife with hidden currents. But the rushing tides of the age keep sweeping them into the maelstrom.
