In the magical world of Yara, there is a group of extraordinary professionals who venture into various dangerous places in search of hidden secrets buried deep in time. These daredevils, who thrive on danger, are aptly called adventurers. Among the numerous adventurers, there are always a few oddballs. For example, there's a swordsman who used to be fond of alcohol and promiscuity but now finds joy in seeking death, a knight who considers wealth as the ultimate pursuit, a priest with severe split personality disorder and an insatiable curiosity, and a magical genius who frequently drifts into a trance-like state, unable to take care of their own lives. When this group of eccentric individuals comes together, what kind of strange stories will unfold? Well, enough with the nonsense. This is actually just a little story about an abnormal, unscrupulous middle-aged man and a few not-so-normal girls seeking self-healing, or rather, redemption.
