Yomi travels with childhood friend Serena and lover Luna, and after joining forces with the couple Nina and Kyle, the five adventure together. As days pass, Kyle's selfishness toward Nina reveals cracks in their relationship, and Nina's gaze slowly turns toward Yomi.

By the time the group finished their quest and headed back to town, the sun was beginning to set behind the forest.
Reaching the gates today seemed unlikely. So, the five of them set up camp in a clearing among the trees, slightly off the main road.
Orange sparks danced from the campfire every time a dry branch snapped. A cold evening breeze brushed the grass, and the constant rustle of leaves echoed from afar. Their weapons and gear, cleaned of the dirt and dust from the quest, were lined up near the fire.
Originally, Yomi, Luna, and Serena formed a three-person party. However, after taking a joint request, they were joined by Kyle and Nina—childhood friends and lovers—and the five began traveling together.
At first, the benefits of increased combat power were significant, and the trio welcomed the two warmly.
However, as they completed quests and spent their days together, Yomi and the others gradually began to feel a small sense of unease regarding Kyle and Nina's relationship.
Nina, put a little more water in.
Kyle, sitting by the pot, said in a casual tone. He made no move to get up himself, simply staring at the campfire.
Eh? ...Right, okay.
Nina stood up, her cherry-blossom hair swaying. She reached for the waterskin a short distance away.
Nina stood up, her cherry-blossom hair swaying. The cold evening wind brushed her cheeks, lightly lifting the hair at her shoulders.
The orange light of the campfire faintly illuminated Nina's profile as thin smoke rose slowly into the sky, which had begun to take on the hue of night. During all this, Kyle remained unmoving before the fire, idly watching the logs burn down.
