STORY

(Roughly translated from their official website)

Since the birth of mankind, various civilizations have sprung up everywhere and have gone through several cycles of prosperity and collapse.
People who have become materially and spiritually rich are soon to undergo major social changes.

The story takes place in a small country located in the northern region.
This place is called 星城 “Seijo” (Star City), named after its cool climate throughout the year, and its fine weather. It is also a place where you can see the stars twinkle brightly at night.

In Seijo, the religion called “Aster” is commonly practiced.
Where the idealogy of reincarnation is accustomed, and people still bear the sins of those who disobeyed God in the past. This is why everyone keeps repeating the same mistakes.

Sumire and Shion were unfortunate children who had escaped from being kidnapped and now live on the streets. One day, they happened to meet a boy named “Subaru,” who is the current founder/leader of the Aster cult and is revered as a “god” by his followers.

Subaru reached out his hand to them and said:
“It is fate that we met here.” Will you follow me?”
