Chihiro, a college student, unexpectedly found a damaged sword. She meant to use it to prop up a table leg, but when she woke up the next morning, the sword was gone and there was a "person" beneath the table.
The impoverished college student saw her world go black and was forced to become the breadwinner.
After all her efforts, she'd finally raised the "sword" until it had a basic grasp of human nature and could find its way home by itself when it rained. Then another uninvited guest appeared at her door.
Konnosuke, who had come searching for the sword and was also in charge of recruiting Saniwa, puffed out his chest:
Hello! Would you be interested in becoming...
Chihiro clapped a hand over the fox's mouth, guessing what it was about to say:
Shh, don't. I'm not planning to become a magical girl just yet.
Konnosuke freaked out: Not a magical girl, a Saniwa! A Saniwa!
Unable to find an internship anywhere else, Chihiro finally shut her eyes and took the plunge into becoming a Saniwa.
But being a Saniwa wasn't easy...
A week later, Chihiro, an apprentice Saniwa currently serving as a [Shared Saniwa], arrived at a museum. Standing before a national treasure display case surrounded by security guards, she felt that her life had reached its end.
[Shared Saniwa Mission 1: Saniwa, please retrieve this uchigatana and purify it!]
Wait, is stealing a sword in front of a crowd really a suitable internship assignment for a college student???
Is being a Saniwa even a legitimate profession?
Maybe she should just become a magical girl after all!
