It start very innocent.
So so innocent that no one can predict where it would lead to. Anyone can be forgiven to be caught off-guard when the effect is visible.
In another world, a pair of husband and wife who had lost two child due miscarriage finally have a son, whom they named Issei—taken after the father's sincere and honest pray to shrine during pregnancy period.
In that world, Issei will encounter an old man who show him a shown not mean for kids of his age, thus set him of path of perversion—specifially, fixation towards big breasts. Later, he would known as Oppai Baka by entire school population due his fixation towards breast reach almost unhealty level, and his bold proclamation to be Harem King, whether in private or public.
In that world, Issei will go on a date with cute girl who ask him out of blue... and in the end of said date, she reveal her true color and kill him.

But this is not that world. No. It's completely different world.
And it start with, rather than a boy named issei, the pair of husband and wife are blessed with a girl whom has equally poetic name.

And while she did meet the pervy old man, she meet another old man in that park. And it shaped her future to something no one see coming.

"Iri..."
"Yes?"
"Why are we here again?"
A little girl with brown hair ask her friend with bland expression and equally flat tone.
Her friend snorted. "We are going to see Magic show." She said as if her friend is idiot. She has light brown hair and violet eyes. Quite rare eyes color for human to have. Yet due her posessing really short hair, people easily mistaken her as a boy.
"...I see..." The brunette girl said slowly. Looking ahead, her hand twitched. "...but I don't see any magic show is performed... only ugly old man with weird smile making weird preparation."
"Oi! Don't diss magician!" Hollered Iri. "Look, the show is about to start!"
The old man spread his hand and speak up, "Ladies and gentlemen" he said in grandiose, attracting attention from all kids in the park, or at least ones who come to see what he is about to do, "let me show you a great story." He give the kid in front row a pair of pudding but tell him to not eat it, before return to the show stage. A puppet doll box. "This is the story of God's greatest gift to human... a story about... OPPAI!" The curtain is opened and standing there, hanging gloriously from the string it tied to, is a female doll... with over-sized chest that it honestly looks like someone glued a pair of cream-colored ping-pong ball on the doll's chest.
As the old man proceeds to tell them the strangest, most bizarre and not making sense stories, more so than the riddle she find in her mother's thick as brick books, the brunette's face grow cold as stone. It doesn't take long for her to reach end of her patience and go away.
"Eh? Nao-chan. Where'd you go?"
"Somewhere. Anywhere. But not here." Nao replied.
"E-eh?! But, what about the show?"
"You look at it if you want. Me, don't."
"W-wait a min—Nao-chaaaannn!"
Ignoring her friend's call, "Nao" began walking away. Somewhere, anywhere, she doesn't mind. As long as she didn't see such crazy show or meet that crazy man ever again. Her mother, in rare times she was at home, cautioned her to not go anywhere near people who make weird faces like that old man. They are per...vert... and she should not go anywhere near one.
A good advice. Her head hurt just by looking at the bizarre doll. That doll is weird and not proportional. If it wasn't for the string it surely will fall forward because of the extra weight on the chest area. Why anyone want to see that is beyond her.
"Oomph!"
Oops? It seems she dabble too much with her mind and did not see where she's going. "I'm sorry sir. I wasn't see where I'm going." She bowed politely before looking up at whom she bumped into.
'Great, another old geezer.' Was the first thing crossed in her mind when she saw the wrinkles face and grayish white hair. 'How did he have red eyes?' Is the second thing, seeing she never encounter someone with such color before. Even more the vibrant one like this man's.
She wished she has red eyes herself. She like color red.
"Oho. It's okay little miss." The old man said. "But I have to ask, where are you going to?"
"Dunno. Somewhere." Replied "Nao". "Anywhere but that... that... that freak show." She pointed her finger at the show. Her eyes twitched in irritation for unknown reason when she turned and saw, now there was another doll which give the female doll's ping-pong balls a weird massage in really weird movement.
"Good grief." She hear this old man sighed. "Even I was not that bad."
"He said he was a magician, but I don't see anything magical." Forget something like in anime. Even the hat trick show she saw in circus is not.
The old man snorted. "Certainly." He said, but then his eyes lit up. "Hey, you want to see real magic?" He ask in tone "Nao" recognize. She has that tone when she think it's great to hide her mother's items... specifially the one round thing with a mirror inside that was called face powder.
"What kind of magic?"
"This kind." The old man open his palm and reveal pretty stones. The stone then start glowing and floating and there's a glowing line formed between them. "Nao" gasped. It's like in tv! A Real Magic!
"Wow!" She exclaimed. "Is that really a magic? How did you do that?!" She ask in excitement. She never think she would see a real magic in real life and not in tv shows... specifially anime.
"Because I'm a True Magician." The old man puffed his chest, Normally "Nao" would doubt that, but after seeing the magic, she believes it. "Nee, little miss..."
"Naomi. Hyoudou Naomi."
"Okay Miss Naomi, do you want to learn magic?"
"Really? I can?"
"Yup. You have biiiiiig potential."
"I wanna!"
"Good then!" The old man let go of his magic and clasped his hands in delight. "See, I have high-standing position in a... Magical Institute, you can say, so I'll pick you at later on certain schedule, kay?"
"Okay." Naomi nodded. "Mom and Dad always at works since early till night. Sometimes they leave for days." She lamented her short height. If only she was bit taller, she can reach the stove with ease and can cook her own food rather than relying on Konbini store or instant ramen cups. She's sick eating same thing whenever her parents are out of town for long period. "And I can't always visit Iri. She has her own life.
"Oho? Now that's interesting." The old man said. "You are financially supplied, no strict rules, and almost absolute freedom, now that's a Luxury. You have more time to learn magic. Isn't that good?" Naomi nodded. Yup. Boredom is firmly off table. "Alright. I meet you tomorrow here at... three sounds good. Bring in blank books and pencil. You will learn a lot."
"Kay mister."
"And my name is not Mister. It's Zelretch."
"Zelretch-sensei?"
"Sounds good."
~X~
Perhaps, in another world, things work differently. There's numerous number of parallel worlds for a kind of world. Never mind totally and completely different world.
In one world, there's a boy named Hyoudou Issei who sat and watch the show till the very end, and become enamored by idea of breast, that he become a pervert. His death at hand of a non-human and revived as another kind of supernatural creature is catalyst for his path to greatness... and making his dream as Harem King become reality.
In that world, the Supernatural world is one and same, universally. While the various Supernatural creature, categorized by their origin into group called Fractions, rarely if ever interact with each other, they know what happens at other fraction and basically what else happens in Supernatural side of the world.
In this world, however, is not the case.
Instead a boy, it was a girl named Naomi. Instead watched the show become a lifetime pervert and beyond, she leave the show. Because of that, she avoid the path of perversion and instead take another path to greatness, when he meet an infamous old man known as Kischur Zelretch Zweinorg.
In this world, the Supernatural world is divided into two. The Moonlit World, focused by Magi, and Lore Realm, inhabited by Supernatural and mythical creature. There is thinly veiled barrier between them. Each group seems to intent to avoid each other since the very first time the barrier started to form, and it resulting only the older generation aware of other. As the time pass, the difference between them grow stronger to point there's only few thing that match between magic they practiced.
The older ones seems to don't mind of it, as it lessens the confrontation that can and will happens if the more... extremist member of each side meet each other. The last time it happens, both side need years to clean the mess up, and long years to prevent the mundane notice more than they already is.
Yet the meeting between Kischur Zelretch Zweinorg of Moonlit World, and Hyoudou Naomi who belongs to Lore Realm, throw off the delicate balance to chaos. Now, only time will tell if the fragile barrier between two world will remain intact, or shattered and ripped beyond salvation.
Either way, what will happens in few years, will be gloriously chaotic.
