Our main character (MC) discovers that his school has a mandatory club enrollment policy, leading him to explore various options to comply with this requirement. Initially, he is hesitant and unsure about which club to join, considering his interests and fears. As he wanders through different clubrooms, he encounters a variety of students involved in diverse activities.
Eventually, the MC stumbles upon the magic club, where he encounters Tejina-senpai, the club's leader. She is passionately practicing her magic tricks, seemingly dedicated to mastering her craft. She works hard to perfect her illusions, but her lack of confidence and stage fright often interfere with her performances, especially in front of an audience.
Tejina-senpai's attempts at performing magic are characterized by her enthusiasm but marred by her nervousness. Her secret struggle with stage fright makes her magic tricks awkward and often unintentionally humorous. Despite her doubts, she continues to try, driven by her love for magic and the desire to improve.
The interactions between the MC and Tejina-senpai reveal a humorous and heartwarming dynamic. While her performances often turn into comic moments, her dedication and genuine passion for magic are evident. Her vulnerability in the face of her fears makes her a relatable and endearing character, drawing the MC—and the audience—closer to her story.
Overall, the narrative combines comedy with themes of perseverance and self-confidence. It showcases how one can overcome personal challenges through dedication and support from others. The story highlights that even moments of embarrassment and failure can be stepping stones toward growth and self-acceptance.
