A mighty six‑and‑a‑half‑year‑old girl sets off on a grand quest across a western‑fantasy continent. Carrying priceless magical treasures she mistakes for ordinary household goods, she travels with her shape‑shifting nine‑tailed fox companion to track down four legendary senior apprentices of her reclusive master. Refusing teleportation and shortcut magic, she insists on finding them by asking for directions and earning her keep through hard work. Along the way, her superhuman strength and naive sincerity shock powerful nobles and mages alike. Though each master secretly sends elite guards to shield her, the little heroine often ends up protecting her protectors instead. After countless warm, funny adventures, she gathers all four seniors and officially becomes the fifth apprentice of Misty Mountain.
