Kazahaya finds himself working in the store, indebted to the owner, Kakei, for giving him a job and a place to lodge. Somehow, Kakei knows about Kazahaya's abilities, and soon he and Rikuou are sent on the occasional side job, involving the use of their unique talents.
As the story progresses, more is revealed about the mysterious pasts of the two main characters. Why did Kazahaya end up collapsed in the snow? Who is the mysterious girl that Kazahaya keeps seeing in Rikuou's mind, and what exactly happened to her?
