Year 800 of the Common Era.

In this year, supernatural cycles brought Earth on a collision course with an alternate dimension and the consequences of such a visit were much more drastic than the times it has happened before. Beginning in Japan, an outpouring of otherdimensional creatures known as «aradama» sparked a silent war between them and humanity that has been ongoing since that century. The only people with the power to oppose these interdimensional creatures are warrior-maidens given the name of «Toji».

Already a millennium has passed since the dawn of the war but the passage of time has done nothing to alleviate the fighting; a status quo has been maintained throughout time. However, this would all change when Japan held the 132nd Annual Swordsmanship Tournament. With that as a stage, a chain reaction of events began rippling throughout the island nation of Japan and these ripples do not merely stop in the archipelago———

She was conversing through her phone with the old butler gentleman of the Mitsumine household, the 68-year-old Masanobu Kyougi. Her expression crinkled a bit in loneliness as she added, “Please ensure that Father, Mother, Miyu, and Shinako do not worry themselves too much about me. I am their daughter and I am Miyu and Shinako’s older sister—I can take care of myself just fine.” 


With those final words, she hung up the phone. Sighing, a voice shook her out of her thoughts. “Am I interrupting something?” 


Honami looked up, spying a messy mop of red hair. “You are… If memory serves, Hiiragi-san’s friend?”
