The Herb Shop

16 year old Ace Haruko works at a local herb shop with his father, Midori Haruko. It's summer, and Ace is busier than ever. Plants don't stop growing, not to mention that the city of Etsuko is extremely hot during this time.
Everything is going just as it should be, until Midori starts noticing that his herbs have been going missing. Ace has had enough. One night, he goes and guards the greenhouse. When all hope was about to be lost, Ace catches a figure in a cloak, snatching a handful of his father's lemon balm. He soon finds out that the thief was Shizu Narumi, the apprentice of a wizard.
