Kokoro, a junior high school student, has been dealing with the aftermath of years of bullying, which has left her anxious and unable to attend school. One day, while staring at her full-length mirror, she is suddenly pulled into a castle in another dimension by a girl wearing a wolf mask. The mysterious girl introduces herself as Riku and tells Kokoro and six other kids that they have been chosen to participate in a scavenger hunt. If one of them finds a key that unlocks a secret room, they will be granted one wish. However, they must adhere to the rules of the world, which allow them to come and go as they please.

As the seven kids explore the castle, they gradually grow closer to each other. They face various challenges and obstacles along the way, but their determination to win the scavenger hunt remains unwavering. Each of them has their own desires and goals, but as they spend more time together, they begin to understand and support each other.

The scavenger hunt takes them through different rooms and areas of the castle, each with its own unique challenges. They must solve puzzles, decipher clues, and overcome obstacles to progress. Along the way, they encounter various creatures and characters, including a talking cat, a wise old wizard, and a mysterious girl who seems to know more than she is letting on.

As the competition draws closer, tensions rise among the kids. They all want to win the wish, but they also realize that their friendship is more important than any individual desire. They work together to solve the final puzzle and unlock the secret room, but when they find the key, they are faced with a difficult decision.

Ultimately, only one of the kids can win the wish. Kokoro and the others support the person who deserves it the most, regardless of who it is. They realize that the true prize is not the wish itself, but the friendship and support they have gained along the way.

In the end, Kokoro and her friends return to their world, but they carry with them the memories and lessons they learned in the castle. They have learned that true strength comes from the bonds of friendship and that sometimes, the greatest rewards come from the challenges we face together.
