Dragon and Ceremony, Vol. 2 (light novel)

When someone unravels the Wand Wall, the cornerstone of the Royal Capital's defenses, apprentice wandmaker Ix is all but forced to investigate the perpetrator and determine their identity. Fortunately, he won't be going it alone--both his friend, Yuui, and her classmate, Noba, tag along to lend their assistance. The few clues the trio can find lead them to the outskirts of an isolated village, where a man-eating, immortal witch is said to dwell. But as the case and the investigators' attachment to it grow more complex, what shocking revelations will come to light...?
