【Story】

April 2588, the Dainichi Empire.

The main character, Hachiya, is the commander of the combat unit of the Army's secret intelligence service, ``Theatre.''

By chance, he was busy doing chores with Yuzaki and Inugami, who became his subordinates.

Then, news arrives of a series of bombings by the anarchist Fox Masked Party (Komento), which is causing a stir in the world.

Hachiya embarks on an investigation with Utagawa, who was at the scene for some reason...

On the other hand, a woman, Akino, came to sightsee the imperial capital.

Along with his childhood friend Asahina, he gets involved in a bombing incident.

"I hate cherry blossoms. It brings back bad memories." -- Hachiya pursues the Komento for revenge.

``I like cherry blossoms because they remind me of important promises.'' Akino confronts the incident for the sake of her childhood friend.

Between these two determinations, what does the fox plan?
