A young escapee and a listless hunter meet by chance, unaware of the covenant that will soon bind them.

Their pact grants Jiro and Kumi the power to defend the town from the giant beast and exposes their location to Imperial forces.

Low on supplies and with their escape route cut off, the three companions seek shelter in a nearby village.

Jiro underestimates a mysterious traveler and loses his spear in a game of chance; she has an agenda, but has an interest with a Cleric and a Paladin which is Hina Yomiya, Toshiyuki Morikawa.

Jiro has a violent history with the people of the mountains; when the group finds themselves in their village, the inhabitants challenge the Paladin to a test of strength.

Kumi fears a connection between her and the red-eyed beasts.
