Synopsis
Unfairly fired maid Lucille escapes to work for reclusive magician Firis, while her harasser pursues her.
Lucille was unfairly fired from her job as a maid because of her employer's sexual harassment. She finds a new job in a distant rural town at the home of Firis, a quiet and unfriendly magician who lives alone in a forest. Spending her days investigating the mysterious Firis's preferences is not bad; it's actually quite enjoyable! However, it seems that her previous employer is trying to find and bring her back?!
