Summary

Escha Malier starts her first day as an official alchemist at the City of Colseit's R&D division, under the supervision of head official Colland Grumman, his son and the treasurer Solle Grumman, and R&D division head Marion Quinn. There, she has an awkward first meeting with fellow newcomer alchemist, Logix Ficsario. Later, Escha and Logy are ordered to fix the local apple orchard's windmill as their first assignment. While on their way to the orchard, Escha tells Logy that the orchard belongs to her family, while he tells her about the Land of Dusk, the uninhabitable wasteland that surrounds Colseit and encompasses most of the world.

The two travel through the Land of Dusk and reach the orchard, where Logy meets Clone, an automaton who is the orchard's groundskeeper and Escha's surrogate mother; and Awin Sidelet, an engineer and Escha's cousin. As they gather the materials needed to fix the windmill's damaged axle, Escha asks Logy about his alchemical background, but he refuses to share certain details. They eventually manage to repair the axle and reinstall it without any problems. Later, they see the floating abandoned castle in the sky, which has yet to be explored due to winds and surrounding debris, where Escha shares with Logy her dream to one day explore there.

Comparisons with the Game

• In the anime, the opening scene shows Clone reading a storybook to Escha. In the game, an animation showing a storybook also starts after choosing which of the protagonists the player wants to play, however this book's content doesn't seem to match the one in the anime.
• The first item Escha synthesizes in front of Logy is an apple pie, while in the game, it's a healing salve.
• Marion is the one who gives them their first mission in the anime while she sent them to Awin so he evaluate them in the game.
• Logy meets Clone for the first time in the orchard and she gives him and Escha a visit of the place. In the game, Awin is the one who told them to search for her and they end up finding her in town.
