Invincible Little Lady

When Mary needs to pick a topic for her research project, she lands on investigating the rumor about the "Magic Mirror of Hallucinations," a nightmarish object said to cause your own reflection to try to switch places with you. Naturally, Mary immediately stumbles upon the mirror and carelessly exposes herself to its effects-when nothing happens, she wonders whether it was just a rumor after all. Soon enough, however, it appears to her friends and classmates that she's turned over a new leaf: where before she went to such great lengths to be demure and ladylike, she's now wearing frilly miniskirts, referring to herself as "Platinum Heart SR," and, most troublingly, claiming she's neck-deep in a conflict with a shadowy cabal known only as "the organization." Can Mary successfully unravel the organization's intrigue before her academy life collapses? Or will she go down in the hearts and minds of her friends as the girl who failed to defeat the great evil haunting her?

Despite uncovering the truth of a long-forgotten legend and exploring a distant ancient ruin, Mary still hasn't found a topic for her research project! However, she was left with one lead to pursue-according to her archeologist acquaintance, an ancient elven town known as Kairomea may have a solution. The town is said to be a repository for all manner of primeval knowledge, for its inhabitants maintain a massive library known as the Grand Archival Tower, where they study and preserve a trove of aged documents; surely, Mary believes, she could find magic to suppress her powers there, of all places! But the depths of the world's knowledge aren't the only mystery in Kairomea, and Mary and her friends aren't the only ones seeking answers to questions that can alter life as they know it... Can Mary piece together the truth behind the town's enigmas before its dormant magic falls into the wrong hands? Or will her academic career (and the library town itself) meet an untimely end?
