Plot
Prologue - It's a Pleasure to Meet You
A legend tells that the land was once blessed by a white comet. However, it suddenly turned red one day and plagued the world with calamities. Ultimately, an unknown group called the Mysterious Nine eliminate the threat before disappearing to the World's End. It is said that the source of their power still remains somewhere.
Resna Sternenlicht is a novice trying to become a full-fledged alchemist. Her mentor gave her the assignment to go to the Royal Capital for this purpose. In the middle of her journey, along her childhood friend Izana Kokoschka who aims to become a knight, the two girls end up lacking funds to pursue their journey and Resna tries to sell items she synthetized while Izana has already been able to send materials she got from hunting. Unfortunately, people usually do not know what is alchemy nowadays, and when Resna tries to share her knowledge about it, they are often scared away due to its reputation.
While gathering more materials, Resna is attacked by monsters. Outnumbered, she struggles to defeat them and is saved just in time by Reisalin Stout. Resna is delighted to learn that she is also an alchemist and inquires on how she was able to become one. After their meeting, Resna goes back to the Atelier by eating a Strange Candy, where her mentor Saskia was having tea. During their chat, four alchemists suddenly arrive in the Atelier: Marlone, Judith Volltone, Rorolina Frixell and Shallistera Argo. They introduce themselves and explain how each of them come from a different world and they woke up one day in this unknown land with the same Strange Candy Resna got from Saskia, the latter explains that this is a common occurrence and these people are called "Wanderers".
Interested about alchemy from other worlds, Resna asks the Wanderers to teach her, but it turns out they can't use what they learnt from their world here. Saskia thus suggests them to help Resna during a synthesis to get more familiar with this world's alchemy instead. They easily get the hang of it as similarities remain and they succeed in synthetizing a rather high quality item despite the hardships. Saskia explains how alchemy used to be easier long ago when comets and the mana they brought were still abundant until there was a drought and alchemy became such a foreign concept as now. The Atelier is a special place where mana can be amplified by the power of multiple alchemists but as its creation is arduous, it wasn't enough to preserve alchemy. Resna declares wanting to find the World's End, a legendary place rich in mana across the ocean, in order to solve the mana shortage and bring back alchemy to its past glory, but Saskia won't let her do so unless she becomes a full-fledged alchemist. When Shallistera asks Resna how will she find the World's End, she says wanting to spread the wonders of alchemy first with the hope of finding people with the same purpose. Shallistera offers to accompany her as she is faced with a similar situation in her world.
Resna's journey resume with Shallistera helping her selling items but Resna's enthusiasm makes a client flee once again. The two girls discuss it further away but they are cut in the middle of their conversation by the apparition of monsters. After the battle, Shallistera asks Resna what alchemy truly means to her and that she should reflect on it if she wants people to be more open about alchemy. They are attacked a second time and are able to defeat the monsters. A third wave takes them by surprise but Izana arrives just in time to save them. Izana joins them to sell items and this time, Resna is finally able to draw customers thanks to Shallistera's advice and by the end of the day, everything was sold.

Resna quickly gets a hold of herself as she remembers her goal, which is to make money to be able to survive as an alchemist on her own. Only then will she no longer be an apprentice.
While walking around and wondering how she could find jobs, Resna falls upon a mysterious man who seems curious about what the work of an alchemist entails. Since she doesn't have one though, the man advises her to check out the Star's Cocoon Cafe as they arrange job requests for people.
Resna meets up with Izana and Shallistera and shares what she learnt. Upon their arrival, they fall upon Reisalin Stout and Rorolina Frixell who work there. They are introduced to Iksel Jahnn who works at the cafe as a chef. Ryza explains how she's also a wanderer who came along some friends currently busy somewhere else. While Iksel and Rorona handle things in the kitchen, Ryza is both a waitress and the one handling the requests. When hearing that Resna was looking for a job, Ryza suggests that she takes on a request for a Monster Extermination in the Capital Outskirts. Resna and her friends complete the request as well as a few others to get the hang of it.
After working so much, Shallistera suggests to look around the town as a way to acquire more knowledge.

Flocke leaves after a chat but Resna notices that she forgot her bag. While panicking about the matter, a red-haired woman appears. Since she's acquainted with Flocke, Resna entrusts her with the bag. Before leaving, the woman warns Resna that the bay isn't safe so she shouldn't wander too long around.
Back at the Star's Cocoon Cafe, Resna chooses a request consisting of providing long-lasting rations for a man about to go on a journey to become a knight. Thankfully, she already knows where to go to get the materials needed but upon learning that she actually never went there, Ryza offers to accompany her. After gathering some herbs nearby, the group returns to the café for a short break, where they're rewarded with Rorona's pie.
They finally reach the wetlands and explore the place while sharing to each other their own experience.

After the request, she, Flocke Celha and Heidi eat together and bond over the fact that the three of them don't know what happened to their parents and eat a big meal to enjoy the positive results of this request.
Back to Resna Sternenlicht, she meets Oskar Behlmer and discovers that he has the skill to talk with flowers, they invite him to go on an adventure with her alongside Reisalin Stout, Shallistera Argo and Izana Kokoschka.
