Despite having a strong memory and attention to detail, Kana Sakuragi struggles to land a job after graduation. However, her latest job interview at a big company is put on hold when the building is invaded by a large Kaii that freezes the entire room. Hitomi Koshigaya of the small magical girl company Magilumiere is called in to deal with the threat, but upon seeing the size of the Kaii, asks for a volunteer to help her reload her weapon. Kana offers her help, even adjusting Hitomi's ammo to a form more suited to damage the icy Kaii until Hitomi manages to seal it. As thanks, Hitomi recommends Kana for a job at Magilumiere.

Kana meets the eccentric staff of the Magilumiere office: the cross-dressing manager Kouji Shigemoto, overworked secretary Kaede Midorikawa, and technical/magical designer Kazuo Nikoyama. Kana tries to train in the use of her BROOM but Hitomi's methods are unhelpful and she continues crashing into objects. Suddenly, Magilumiere is called upon to deal with a new Kaii that has spread through an entire floor of an office building and trapped one of the workers inside. Hitomi takes Kana with her and manages to rescue the civilian, but is having trouble warding off the Kaii while carrying him, as her damaged BROOM slowly loses power. Kana then remembers that her BROOM can be converted into a short-range weapon from the training manuals that no one else bothered to read, and uses it to damage the Kaii enough for Hitomi to seal it while rescuing the civilian.

Kana gets officially hired as a full-time employee at Magilumiere after a month, as a magical girl from the massive AST company seals their latest Kaii target from under them. Later, Magilumiere is called in to clear a nearby shopping district of small yet numerous aquatic Kaii that have taken over. Kana suggests following the standard tactic of a wide-range magic spell to quickly resolve the issue, but both Kouji and Hitomi insist she scope out the area first. Initially confused about the situation, Kana soon realizes that the district is full of old buildings that will be destroyed if they go through with the spell. As such, Kana proposes a more targeted magic that will wipe out the Kaii through the sewers, though such a spell does not yet exist. Kouji announces he will create one.
