IT'S NOT ABOUT THE DESTINATION...It's impossible to predict who Elaina will meet on each leg of her journey, but one thing is always certain: With every new encounter, adventure is never far behind! She'll cross paths with a money-hungry beauty, a man who smiles in the face of death, a troubled slaver and his ex-girlfriend, an undercover detective, a very fluffy witch, and another witch with horrible communication skills. Perhaps one day our Wandering Witch will even happen upon someone who doesn't have a problem for her to solve!

As Elaina continues on her solo journey, there are some quirky individuals anticipating her arrival. This part of her journey includes an elf hunting group and roaming dark elves, trying to bring back someone's daughter's smile and journeying for riches, undercover agent Charcoal witch and her sister, siblings searching for a new home, a shock advertising-loving, good-for-nothing novice, and a nice young man from a certain village.¿¿

Though Elaina's journey alongside Fran may be drawing to a close, the two still have much to see and do together. On this leg of the trip, they will encounter a lovelorn mermaid and a lateblooming nomad, a troublesome face from Fran's youth, a narrowminded novelist, sisters in search of a new home, a magician who lives in a castle in the sky, a demon lurking within the pages of a book, and so much more. Most every tale has its highs and lows, but this time around, Elaina will find herself in the hot seat as she's grilled by many of the friends she's made along the way! What could she have possibly done to earn their ire?!

IT'S NOT ABOUT THE DESTINATION...​On this stretch of her travels, Elaina encounters an upstart broom racer, a bandit and his mother, a political power couple, the secret lives of tools, a heartbroken medicine maker, a cursed slave, a demon down on their luck, and last but not least, a teacher and schoolgirl at a certain academy who share a peculiar entanglement with a baker. Venturing here, there, and everywhere, Elaina spins yarn after whimsical yarn. What new farewells await her this time?

No two adventures are alike, and our young witch understands this better than most. She knows that for every happy ending, there is always a sad one-and some stories have no ending at all. But with experiences as varied as dream-demon encounters, magical wars, and stomping grapes, the life of a traveler promises one thing if nothing else-the journey is (almost) always worth it!

It's not about the destination...A runaway princess, a zombie nation, a divine cat, and lots and lots of bread. These are just a few of the many highlights that color the travels of our young witch. Each place she visits is a new story waiting to be told, rife with encounters that are anything but typicalÑand rarely ending the way anyone expects. Such is the magic of wandering, you see. You never know quite where you'll end up. A tale can take a turn at any moment and become something else entirely...

"Once upon a time, there was a witch named Elaina who set off on a journey across the world. Along the way, she would meet all kinds of people, from a country full of witches to a giant in love with his own muscles. With each meeting, Elaina would become a small part of their stories, and her own world would get a little bit bigger"--

Riviere, myself, and Elaina are hot on the trail of Antiques Carredura, the shop that recklessly sells dangerous sancta. The owner is always one step ahead of us and keeps slipping through our fingers! But this time, there's something different about Riviere. Thanks to meticulous strategizing, carefully selected sancta, and me, her trump card, Riviere's old enemy has been backed into a corner! The sorrowful past that connects Riviere and Carredura is revealed at last!

After Riviere saved her from dying on the street, MacMillia chose to start working as her new assistant! The enigmatic Riviere runs an antique shop, where she specializes in dispelling troublesome (and sometimes dangerous) curses. Magic, witches, prayers (and the curses they turn into) mean there's never a dull day for these two!

Riviere and MacMilia--the veritable comedy duo--and the ashen witch Elaina take on another mysterious case! This time I, MacMilia, and Riviere have some serious challenges on our hands: tracking down a serial killer, helping a man with insomnia, sneaking into a secret party, hunting down priceless sancta, dispensing relationship advice, fighting an android, and more!

On a small island nation, in a mysterious town where people's prayers are answered by a mysterious force, two girls work in a shop where they deal with the dangerous items born from those prayers.

IT'S NOT ABOUT THE DESTINATION... If there’s one immutable truth in which our Wandering Witch can take comfort, it’s that each new destination promises a one-of-a-kind experience. Nostalgic flavors of the past mingle with the refreshing taste of the present, and as with a loaf of bread hot out of the oven, Elaina is ever ready to sink her teeth in. This time, however, Elaina may have bitten off a little more than she can chew. When she at last crosses paths with a certain dark-haired girl, a pivotal chapter in her life will see its conclusion...or perhaps its beginning?

IT'S NOT ABOUT THE DESTINATION...​No matter what corner of the world Elaina seems to find herself in, her journey shows no signs of slowing down. During this particularly magical string of adventures, she encounters a mysterious woman who runs a used bookstore, a renowned witch tasked with eliminating a group of bandits, a man and woman who find common ground within their checkered pasts, a land of witches obsessed with statues, a village populated only by beautiful women, a dragon emerging from its four-hundred-year slumber inside a boulder, and the witch who sealed it there. Many of these tales seem almost quaint, though, in comparison to the legendary account of two young witches and their discovery of a time-reversing pocket watch...
