Does the Assassin Girl Dream of the Mana Doll?

In that city, a peculiar urban legend circulated. “If one found themselves alone in a room at midnight, a ghost would slip through the window and stealthily enter. Once marked by its blade, there would be no escape, and life would quickly meet its end.” Only she and her master know that this urban legend hold some truth. Egret, a girl who was taken in by the assassination guild at a tender age, before she could even comprehend the world around her.

This is the story of a girl raised as a mere instrument who crosses paths with a girl created as a mana doll, ultimately embarking on her journey as a human.
