The Magical Flying Library Ship arrives at Tamagotchi School, a shimmering vessel that instantly turns the campus into a doorway to countless fables. Among the students boarding the ship are Mametchi Rie Kugimiya and the new classmate Kikitchi Junko Takeuchi, whose faces brighten with curiosity even as a shadow lingers over him. They’re joined by friends and classmates who carry their own stories: Memetchi Ryoka Yuzuki with a hopeful spark, Hapihapitchi Satomi Korogi ready to try everything, Chamametchi Yuko Gibu with a soft smile, and Kuchipatchi Asami Yaguchi who watches the books with wide, attentive eyes.
