His childhood friend Nico Wakatsuki is a natural airhead girl from a witch family! After six years of training at the witch's sacred ground, the first thing Nico does upon returning is to ask Mamoru to be her familiar, and she even moves right into his house! 😳
Nico's mom (witch moms seem so reliable!) foresaw that a calamity would befall Nico within a year, but being unable to leave herself, she entrusted Nico to Mamoru.
