As if fate had cruelly conspired against them, Kyoto finds itself in the clutches of famine and rampant disease, enveloped in despair. Confronted by this dire state of affairs, the Imperial Court takes a desperate stand and resolves to dispatch Minamoto no Raiko, a renowned samurai revered for his unparalleled archery skills. Tasked with retrieving a legendary gem that holds an enigmatic power capable of saving the world, Raiko valiantly accepts the mission. Alas, fate has other plans; he falls victim to the very illness that plagues the city. Unbeknownst to the despairing Imperial Court, a ray of hope emerges from the depths of their darkest hour.

With resilience and determination coursing through her veins, she sets forth, venturing into an uncertain world teeming with danger and adventure. As Hikaru's path intertwines with a vibrant tapestry of fascinating characters and unforeseen challenges, her quest for the legendary gem takes on unforeseen dimensions. Will she overcome the trials that lie before her, evading sinister foes and unraveling mysteries of the ancient power within the gem? Join Hikaru on her epochal odyssey, where legends will be forged, alliances tested, and the fate of Kyoto will hang in the balance.
