Little Witch Academia: The Nonsensical Witch and the Country of the Fairies, is a light novel set in the Little Witch Academia world. It is written by Momo Tachibana.
Set in the same continuity as the 2017 TV series, when Luna Nova embarks on an annual field trip to Doras Hill as part of a ritual, trouble occurs when Luna Nova is unable to get in contact with the hill's guardian, Sifla, who refuses to set out of her house. Of course, Akko, being concerned about this turn of events, sets off with her friends Lotte and Sucy to figure out what is going on.
There, they find out that her refusal to step outside is because her friends have ran off, which upsets her greatly. After hearing this and promising her to bring them back, this soon leads the trio to find out that there is a fierce tribal rivalry between two fairy factions, the Cait Sith, led by the pompous and hot tempered cat fairy, Feoras, and the Cu Sith, led by the laidback and lazy dog fairy, Alan.
It is now up to Akko and friends to resolve this rivalry between them, bring them back to Stifla and to get the ritual to go on as planned.
