An up-and-coming anime director, Natsuko Hirose, is busy trying to storyboard a rom-com themed feature film, but because she's never experienced first love, she can't seem to progress with her storyboards.
The prophet of the Last Town, Elder Baobab, decides that Natsuko should join the Nine Soldiers. Natsuko tries to find a way back home but then remembers what happens next in "A Tale of Perishing" and realizes everyone's in danger again.
The Last Town has their Harvest Festival, and the Nine Soldiers get some time off. That's where Luke meets Destiny. In "A Tale of Perishing," the two fall in love, but Natsuko coming into this world seems to be throwing off that destiny.
