An Oath for Peace
Aoteru Misumi is a young man living in the countryside of Ehime, Yamato. Working as an agricultural officer, he lives a quiet life with his wife, Saki.

Having lost the love of his life, Aoteru is determined to fulfill the promise he made to her of creating a peaceful world.

But Aoteru will find no rest there, as he immediately encounters a certain individual.

Imperial Council
Aoteru and Yoshitsune Asama take the Toryumon, an employment exam required to work under Ryumon. The conditions for passing are simple: the examinees must bring him to his knees. It seems that knowledge of the art of war alone will not be enough. They will also need their resourcefulness to get through this trial.
