Ever since her mother disappeared, Hina has been traveling alone. Her mother's last words to Hina were to find "the Legendary Ace". Hina follows a rumor to a town, where she meets Nana, a tavern owner, and Licht, a huge pervert.

Licht, the legendary Ace of Flashing Strikes, saves Hina from the corrupt military officer. Hina is determined that he is the person her mother told her to find, but Licht seems to disagree.

Lynn and Pele are military officers overseeing a peaceful backwater town. They encounter a strange pudding peddler who looks suspiciously like the legendary Ace on the wanted poster.

Jail reveals his true Count of 12500. He even overtakes Licht in raw speed, Licht's specialty. As the townsfolk and Lynn look on, Licht is backed into a corner.

Hina catches up to Licht, guided by a hunch and aided by Nana. They meet Pelmo, another hunch-driven woman. Pelmo is chasing after a lifelong dream, which turns out to be quite dangerous.

Lynn and Pele also catch up to Licht. Sensing the establishment of an awkward love triangle, Nana proposes a cooking match to lighten up the mood.
