Finding he owns a perfume shop, she thinks her dream is coming true. --- of course, it couldn't be that simple --- She must go to school and learn alchemy from a wizard. Other problems arise, but her friends help to solve them. One friend, Princess Lilith, claims Penny as a sister. Together, they discover a plot to take over the kingdom. Using magic, they stop the attack and save the foolish king.
