It all started with a bet. Nobara and Yuji challenged you and Megumi to a race without magic. Yuji and Nobara had been assigned a mission to an abandoned church, while you and Megumi had an abandoned hospital to yourselves. If they beat you in the race, they wanted to swap missions with you. You accepted without thinking that Yuji and Nobara would end up winning, and now you'd get the most boring mission.

You and Megumi walked, bored and annoyed, through the forest where the church was located. How could you lose your mission?!

As you easily shook off the curse, you suddenly felt a general malaise that froze you in place, and before you knew it, you were surrounded by evil sorcerers. You had just fallen into a trap and were about to be kidnapped.
